A manager of an inter-county hurling team is concerned that his team lose matches because they ‘fade away’ in the last ten minutes. He has measured GPS data showing how much ground particular players cover within a given time period; this is the data in list (a) in worksheet ‘Dataset3’. He has acquired the corresponding data from an opposing, more successful team, which is given in list (b). Set up the frame work of an appropriate statistical test to determine whether there is a difference in the distances covered by thetwo groups of players.Carry out the statistical test and state your conclusions.
