Archeologists have discovered a sample of ancient Egyptian skulls from two different time periods, 4000
B.C. and 150 A.D. They believe that the mean maximum skull breadth (the width of the skull at its widest
part) has increased from 4000 B.C. to 150 A.D. A sample of 16 Egyptian skull breadths (in mm) from each
time period is show below:
