Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 3P
In a study, 28 adults with mild periodontal disease are assessed before and 6 months after implementation of a dental-education program intended to promote better oral hygiene. After 6 months, periodontal status improved in 15 patients, declined in 8, and remained the same in 5.
Suppose patients are graded on the degree of change in periodontal status on a 7-point scale, with +3 indicating the greatest improvement, 0 indicating no change, and −3 indicating the greatest decline. The data are given in Table 9.9.
Implement the procedure in Problem 9.2, and report a p-value.
