It is commonly thought that SUVs and vans are safer than cars. If an SUV and a car are in a collision, does the SUV sustain less damage and thus need a cheaper repair? We performed 7 sample crashes of SUVs at 10mph into the rear ends of stopped cars. See the table of normal data below. SUV into car SUV damage ($) Car damage ($) CRV into Civic 1721 1274 Rav4 into corolla  1434 2327 Tucson into Forte 850 3223 Tiguan into Golf 2329 2058 Patriot into Caliber 1415 3095 Escape into Focus 1470 3386 Rogue into Sentra 2884 4560 Would you be able to say that SUVs are safer since they need less repairs? Should I use: confidence intervals z-score A cause/correlation/regression or Chi-Squared hypothesis tests

Tiguan into Golf 2329 2058
Patriot into Caliber 1415 3095
Escape into Focus 1470 3386
Rogue into Sentra 2884 4560

Would you be able to say that SUVs are safer since they need less repairs?

Should I use:

  • confidence intervals
  • z-score
  • A cause/correlation/regression or Chi-Squared
