A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance traveled by golf balls produced using four different designs.  Nine balls were manufactured with each design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test.  The order in which the balls were hit with the same club was randomized to the pro did not know which type of ball was being hit.  All 36 balls were hit (assuming the environmental conditions played no role).  The resulting distances in yards were recorded and are shown in the following table:   Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4 206.32 217.08 226.77 230.55 207.94 221.43 224.79 227.95 206.19 218.04 229.75 231.8
