An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars
is greater than that of women drivers. The company took a random sample of 26
cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour
with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. Another sample of 16 cars driven by
women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a
standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. Assume that the speeds at which all men
and all women drive cars on this highway are both normally distributed with the same
population standard deviation.
Test at 2.5% significance level whether the average speed at which men drive cars
is greater than that of women drivers. (Ans: Test Stat = 5.433, reject Ho)

A set of facilitation tools to help with data analysis for problem solving is being
developed by a group of statisticians at UITM. In order to test effectiveness of these
tools, a group of research officers were asked to analyze and produce a built-in
report for a set of data on the computer. Twelve equally capable research officers
were randomly selected and six were randomly assigned a standard procedure to
complete the task. The other six were asked to do the task using the developed
facilitation tools. The response measured was the time to completion (in minutes):
The data collected are shown below:
