consumer-research organization routinely selects several car models each year and evaluates their fuel effi ciency. In this year’s study of two similar subcompact 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 averaged 32.4 mpg, and the standard deviation was 4.3 mpg. At α = 0.01, should it conclude that brand A cars have lower average gas mileage than do brand B cars?
