Example of Comparing Matched Pairs<br />

Figure 8.2 The Matched Pairs Report Window<br />

The results show that, on average, the tympanic thermometer measures 1.12 degrees higher than the oral<br />

thermometer. The small p-value (Prob > |t|) indicates that this difference is statistically significant, <strong>and</strong> not<br />

due to chance.<br />

Note that this matched pairs analysis does not indicate which thermometer is correct (if either), but only<br />

indicates that there is a difference between the thermometers.<br />
