year and evaluates their fuel efficiency. In this year’s study of two similarsubcompact models from two different automakers, the average gas mileage for
12 cars of brand A was 27.2 miles per gallon, and the standard deviation was
3.8 mpg. The nine brand B cars that were tested average 32.1 mpg, and the
standard deviation was 4.3 mpg. At o= 0.01, should it conclude that brand A
