In previous tests, baseballs were dropped 24 feet onto a concrete surface, and they bounced an average of 92.82 inches. in a test of a sample of 23 new balls, the bounce heights had a mean of 92.6 inches and a standard deviation of 1.72 inches. use a 0.05 significance level to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the new balls have bounce heights with a mean different from 92.8292.82 inches. does it appear that the new baseballs are different?

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the new balls have bounce heights with a mean different from 92.8292.82 inches, and it appears that the new baseballs are different

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in previous tests, baseballs were dropped 24 feet onto a concrete surface, and they bounced an average of 92.82 inches

But new balls showed mean of 92.6 inches with s = 1.72 inches

Sample size = 23

Since sample size is less than 30 and population std deviation is not know we use t test

(Two tailed test at 5% significance level)

Mean difference =

Std error of sample mean = s/sqrt n =

Test statistic t = mean diff/std error = -3.402

df = 23-1 =22

p value = 0.002559

since p value <5% we reject H0

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the new balls have bounce heights with a mean different from 92.8292.82 inches, and it appears that the new baseballs are different
