Introduction
The purpose of this report is to show if the new golf ball coating design does induced resist cuts and provide a more durable ball.
Hypothesis
µ1 is the mean driving distance of currently produced golf balls µ2 is the mean driving distance of newly designed golf balls
Null hypothesis (H0): µ1- µ2 ≤ 0
Alternate hypothesis (Ha): µ1- µ2 > 0
Analysis
The sample mean for current golf balls is 270.275, while the new golf balls have a sample mean of 267.50. So on average the current golf balls have an advantage of 2.775 yards. Using a 5% significance level, a p value of 0.094 is obtained. As this is larger than the significance level, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected. The conclusion is that this data does not provide statistical evidence that the new golf balls have a lower mean driving distance.
However, this does not mean that the new golf balls do not have a better driving distance only that this set of data does not support it. A type II error could have been made, where we have not rejected the null hypothesis, but it is in fact false. Only more data can help give a better idea on whether there is a difference in the driving distance of the current and new golf balls. So it is recommended that more data be acquired and a new test be performed with a bigger sampling size.
