Question:
43. In an experiment designed to study the effects of illumination level on task performance ( Performance of Complex Tasks Under Different Levels of Illumination, J. Illuminating Engrg., 1976: 235—242), subjects were required to insert a ne-tipped probe into the eyeholes of ten needles in rapid succession both for a lowlight level with a black background and a higher level with a white background. Each data value is the time (sec) required to complete the task.

Test the appropriate hypotheses using the P-value approach.
