Par, Inc., is a major manufacturer of golf equipment. Management believes that Par's market share could be increased with the introduction of a cut-resistant, longer-lasting golf ball. Therefore, the research group at Par has been investigating a new golf ball coating designed to resist cuts and provide a more durable ball. The tests with the coating have been promising. One of the researchers voiced concern about the effect of the new coating on driving distances. Par would like the new cut-resistant ball to offer driving distances comparable to those of the current-model golf ball. To compare the driving distances for the two balls, 40 balls of both the new and current models were subjected to distance tests. The testing was performed with a mechanical hitting machine so that any difference between the mean distances for the two models could be attributed to a difference in the two models. The results of the tests, with distances measured to the nearest yard, follow. What is your recommendation for Par, Inc.?

2. En un convivio escolar, se contrató a un taquero que servia tantos tacos como quisiera cada alumno. Cada vez que salía una orden, el mesero anotaba el número de tacos que se pedia: Datos: \( 4,5,2,3,4,3,4,2,3,6,7,3,4,5 \) Se quiere calcular el rango, varianza y desviación estándar de estos datos. Datos: Rango: Varianza:

Gallons of milk- \( 24.6,23.84,25.25,21,17.52,19.61,19.83,26.18,34.97 \), \( 29.9,28.59,20.57,26.94,27.24 \) At \( \boldsymbol{\alpha}=\mathbf{0 . 0 5} \), test for a significant difference by completing the following. Calculate the value of the test statistic ( 2 decimals). What is the p-value?

When is it appropriate to make inferences about a population based upon data collected from a sample when the sample is selected at random from the population of interest any time an experiment is conducted any time an observational study is conducted when a sample is selected from the population of interest

Without wait tracking system- \( 24,67,17,19,31,43,12,23,17,37 \) With wait tracking system- \( 31,12,13,18,12,37,9,14,12,16 \) What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for offices with a wait tracking system? What are the variance and standard deviation of patient wait times for visits to offices without a wait tracking system? Please round the answers to 2 decimal place.

According to a recent study annual per capita consumption of milk in the United States is 22.6 gallons. Being from the Midwest, you believe milk consumption is higher there and wish to test your hypothesis. A sample of 14 individuals from the Midwestern town of Webster City was selected and then each person's milk consumption was entered into the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Use the data to set up your spreadsheet and test your hypothesis. Gallons of milk- \( 24.6,23.84,25.25,21,17.52,19.61,19.83,26.18,34.97 \), \( 29.9,28.59,20.57,26.94,27.24 \) At \( \boldsymbol{\alpha}=\mathbf{0 . 0 5} \), test for a significant difference by completing the following. Calculate the value of the test statistic ( 2 decimals).
