Golf Club Design. A major manufacturer of golf equipment is considering three designs for a new driver: Design A, Design B, and Design C. Each design differs slightly in terms of the material used to construct the driver’s head and shaft. The company would like to know if there is any difference in the overall driving distance for the three designs. Twelve PGA Tour players who represent the company were asked to test each model. After a warm-up period, each player hit each a drive with one of the new designs in a randomly selected order, and the overall distance (in yards) was recorded. The results follow.
At the .05 level of significance, test whether the mean driving distance is the same for the three designs.

Choice 1:A difference in time to flee for a single lizard from Alabama, and a single lizard from Arkansas, assuming the null hypothesis is true. Choice 2:A difference in mean response times for one sample of lizards from Alabama, and one sample of lizards from Arkansas, which was likely to occur if the null hypothesis is true.
