6. 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 distance hit by the legendary
champion Byron Nelson. Ten randomly selected balls of two different brands are tested
and the overall distance measured. The data follow:
Brand 1: 275, 286, 287, 271, 283, 271, 279, 275, 263, 267
Brand 2: 258, 244, 260, 265, 273, 281, 271, 270, 263, 268
a. Is there evidence that overall distance is approximately normally distributed? Is an
assumption of equal variances
justified?
b. Test the hypothesis that both brands of ball have equal mean overall distance. Use a
= 0.05. What is the P-value?
c. Construct a 95% two-sided Cl on the mean difference in overall distance for the two
brands of golf balls.
d. What is the power of the statistical test in part (b) to detect a true difference in mean
overall distance of 5 yards?
e. What sample size would be required to detect a true difference in mean overall distance
of 3 yards with power of
approximately 0.75?
