A clinical trial is planned to compare an experimental medication designed to lower blood pressure to a placebo. Before starting the trial, a pilot study is conducted involving seven participants. The objective of the study is to assess how systolic blood pressures change over time if left untreated. Systolic blood pressures are measured at baseline and again 4 weeks later. Is there a statistically significant difference in blood pressures over time? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. 

 Properly state the test you used with hypothesis statements, p-values or confidence intervals, a detailed conclusion, and any follow-up analysis if necessary.
