The overall distance traveled by a golf ball is tested by hitting the ball with Iron Byron, a mechanical golfer with a swing that is said to emulate the legendary champion, Byron Nelson. Ten randomly selected balls of two brands are tested and the overall distance measured. Assume the data are normally distributed. The data follow: Brand 1 257 276 260 262 287 271 260 265 283 271
Brand 2 273 281 279 275 271 270 263 267 263 268
1) Is there evidence to show that there is a difference in the mean overall distance of brands? Use alpha = 0.05.
2) Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the difference in mean overall distance.
