Stephen Stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec. In 1882, Albert Michelson had collected measurements on the speed of light. His measurements are given in data to the right. Is there evidence to show that Michelson's data is different from Stigler's value of the speed of light? Test at the 5% level.
