The experiment began using a TI-84 calculator as a random number generator, and 1-4 inputted into the calculator to determine order. Numbers 1-3 were inputted to determine the order of experimental groups for the participant. A plastic tub was then filled with a liter of water at 25℃, and a thermometer was placed into the water to verify. The experiment was divided into three sections; 30 seconds before submission, during submission, and 30 seconds after submission. For the control run; data was recorded for breathing rate, and ECG for 30 seconds prior to submission after the BIOPAC system and instruments were calibrated,. After 30 seconds participant submerged their head in water and time underwater, ECG, and were recorded. After submersion, data was recorded for ECG, and breathing rate. For experimental groups; the music and BIOPAC system were started simultaneously and data for ECG, and breathing rate was recorded. After thirty seconds participant submerged head in tub with the music playing; time underwater, ECG and were recorded during underwater …show more content…
Regarding time spent underwater, the calculated p-value of 0.09 shows that no statistical significance lied musical genre’s effects on time spent underwater. The calculated p-values for breathing rate of 0.728 and 0.693 the hypothesis was rejected as it showed there was no statistical significance. The calculate p-values for heart rate were 0.835 and 0.804 for during and after submersion. This shows that no statistical significance lies between music groups and the control and rejects the
