You have been retained by Par, Inc., a major manufacturer of golf equipment, to offer consultation about a new product that is currently under development. Management believes that Par's market share can be increased with the introduction of a new cut- resistant, longer-lasting golf ball. The research group at Par has been investigating a new golf ball coating. The new coating has been designed to resist cuts, leading to a more durable product. So far, the durability tests have been promising. One of the researchers on your team has voiced concerns about the effects of the new coating on the performance of the new golf ball. Par would like the new cut-resistant ball to offer driving distances comparable to those of the current-model golf ball. The average driving distance for the new golf ball can be equal to or longer than the current model, but not shorter. To compare the driving distances for the two models, you arranged an experiment in conjunction with the Far research team. Forty golf balls of each type were subjected to driving-distance tests. You offered the idea of testing the driving distance with a mechanical hitting machine to isolate any mean differences in the distances to the two model golf balls themselves. The results of the tests, with distances measured to the nearest yard, follow. Let ,u1=population mean driving distance for the current golf ball p2=population mean driving distance for the new golf ball Decision time. You must now make a decision about whether to reject your null hypothesis or fail to reject your null hypothesis and present your finding to the Far, Inc. research team. As their consultant, your decision must be 1) correct, and 2) explained in \"plain English" so that everyone within Par, Inc. can understand your recommendation and why. 0 Reject Ho because the p-value is less than a: = .05. In my analysis, since the p-value is less than a = .05, the t-statistic falls to the right of the t- critical value, placing it in the rejection region. There is evidence to support the conclusion that the current golf ball outdistances the new model substantially, bringing the new coating into question. | recommend stopping development of the new cut-resistant golf ball at this time. Q Fail to reject Ho because the p-value is greater than a = .05. In my analysis, since the p-value is greater than 0: = .05, the t-statistic falls to the left ofthe tcritical value. placing it in the non-rejection region. There is evidence to support the conclusion that the current golf ball and the new model do not differ signicantly in their average drive distance. | recommend continuing development of the new cut-resistant golf ball present your finding to the Par, Inc. research team.
