Q4. In a test to compare the performance of two models of cars, the Bullet and the Speeding Bullet, 75 cars of each model were driven on the same speedway with a full tank of gas in each car (same size tanks). The mean number of miles for the Bullet was 550 miles with a standard deviation of 22 miles; the mean number of miles for the Speeding Bullet was 605 with a standard deviation of 36.  (a) What is the point estimate of the difference of the means for the populations (the Speeding Bullet - the Bullet)? (b) At the 1 percent level of significance, are the two models of cars significantly different?

Q4. In a test to compare the performance of two models of cars, the Bullet and the Speeding Bullet, 75 cars of each
model were driven on the same speedway with a full tank of gas in each car (same size tanks). The mean number of
miles for the Bullet was 550 miles with a standard deviation of 22 miles; the mean number of miles for the Speeding
Bullet was 605 with a standard deviation of 36. 
(a) What is the point estimate of the difference of the means for the populations (the Speeding Bullet - the Bullet)?
