=+81. Stopping distance. In an experiment on braking performance, a tire manufacturer measured the stopping distance for one of its tire models. On a test track, a car made repeated stops from 60 miles per hour. Twenty tests were run, 10 each on both dry and wet pavement, with results M13_SHAR8696_03_SE_C13.indd 465 14/07/14 7:30 AM 466 CHAPTER 13 Comparing Two Means shown in the table. (Note that actual braking distance, which takes into account the driver’s reaction time, is much longer, typically nearly 300 feet at 60 mph!)
