To determine the effectiveness of an oil additive, a testing firm purchased two cars of the same make, year, and model, and drove each a distance of 30,000 miles using the same kind of gasoline, the same kind of oil, the same driver, under the same road conditions. The oil in one engine included the additive, whereas the oil in the other engine did not. At the end of the test, the engines of both cars were dismantled, and it was found that the engine that contained the additive had less wear. The testing firm concluded that the oil additive caused the reduced wear. Construct a table that supports this conclusion. Which one of Mill's methods did the testing firm use? What sense of causality is involved in the conclusion?

A rural county presently uses Asphalt A to pave its highways, but is considering using themore expensive Asphalt B (which is reported to be more durable). The two types of asphaltare tested using 200m test strips on five different two-lane highways. On each test strip, arandomly selected lane was paved with Asphalt A and the lane in the opposing direction waspaved with Asphalt B. It has been determined that it is more economical to use Asphalt B ifthe length of time before resurfacing is required (i.e. longevity) is at least 2.5 years longer onaverage than that of Asphalt A. Assume that the longevity of each type of asphalt is normally distributed. Using a 2% significance level and assuming that the data for the two types of asphalt at eachtest strip can be paired, determine if Asphalt B lasts at least 2.5 years longer than Asphalt Aon average.
