Suppose there is an experiment to compare fuel economics for two types of similarly equipped diesel mini-trucks. In this experiment, 15 Volkswagen and 10 Toyota trucks were used in a 90-kph test. If the Volkswagen trucks averaged 17 km/liter with s=1 km/liter and the Toyota units averaged 12 km/liter with s=0.8 km/liter. It is desired to know if it can be sufficiently said that Volkswagen trucks exceed similar Toyota counterparts by 4 km/liter at 5% significance level.

We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc).
