Stuck with a dependent and independent variables. Please help

Use the file to test if humans and hybrid differ for 1. Throughput and 2. Quality.

Variable	Columns
Human throughput	1-5
hybrid throughput	7-11
Human quality	13-16
Hybrid quality	18-21

Check the assumptions and determine statistical model
Find the test statistic and report p-value
Made a decision

So far I have the following code but let me know if this code is correct or if there is any other way to compare throughput and quality

data robot;
infile 'C:\Users\\Downloads\gas.dat' dlm=',' firstobs=2;
input HumT 1-5 HybT 7-11;
diff=HumT-HybT;
run;
proc univariate data=robot normal;
qqplot d /normal (mu=est sigma=est color=red 1=1);
var diff;
run;
proc ttest data=robot side=2 alpha=0.05 h0=0;
var diff;
run;

Two dependent samples with paired t-test.
For Ho: Uc – Ut = 0, t= 4.4689, and the p-value = 0.0231. The conclusion is to reject Ho and conclude that the reading human and hybrid throughput are significantly different.

data robot;
infile 'C:\Users\paul\Downloads\gas.dat' dlm=',' firstobs=2;
input HumQ 13-16 HybQ 18-21;
diff=HumQ-HybQ;
run;
proc univariate data=robot normal;
qqplot d /normal (mu=est sigma=est color=red 1=1);
var diff;
run;
proc ttest data=robot side=2 alpha=0.05 h0=0;
var diff;
run;

Here is the data:

185.4 180.4 .889 .997
146.3 248.5 .791 .959
174.4 185.5 .866 .821
184.9 216.4 .888 .914
240.0 269.3 .916 .973
253.8 249.6 .923 .925
238.8 282.0 .894 .912
263.5 315.9 .934 .965

I don't think this is correct statistically. Because you're taking a difference and testing if it's 0 that's a paired t-test and I suspect your data is not suitable for a paired test.

Are the variables dependent or independent?

I don't know, I didn't run the data and your tests aren't the correct methodology.

FYI - you should plot them as well.
