3. The operatians division manager of a logistics company is trying to identify whether the use of nitrogen to fill tires instead of normal air improves fuel economy. The tires of 12 trucks were filled with nitrogen and tested over a prescribed course. Without changing drivers, the tires of the same trucks were then filled with normal air and driven once again over the test course.

3. The operations division manager of a logistics company is trying to identify whether the use
of nitrogen to fill tires instead of normal air improves fuel economy. The tires of 12 trucks
were filled with nitrogen and tested over a prescribed course. Without changing drivers, the
tires of the same trucks were then filled with normal air and driven once again over the test
course. The mileage was recorded as follows:
