Question

Tees Does it matter what kind of tee a golfer places the
ball on? The company that manufactures “Stinger” tees
claims that the thinner shaft and smaller head will lessen
drag, reducing spin and allowing the ball to travel farther.
In August 2003, Golf Laboratories, Inc., compared the
distance traveled by golf balls hit off regular wooden tees
to those hit off Stinger tees. All the balls were struck bythe same golf club using a robotic device set to swing the
club head at approximately 95 miles per hour. Summary
statistics from the test are shown in the table. Assume
that 6 balls were hit off each tee and that the data were
suitable for inference.Is there evidence that balls hit off the Stinger tees would
have a higher initial velocity?
