To investigate the fluid mechanics of swimming, twenty swimmers each swam a specified distance in a water-filled pool and in a pool where the water was thickened with food grade guar gum to create a syrup-like consistency. Velocity, in meters per second, was recorded and the results are given in the table below.
Swimmer | Velocity (m/s) | |
---|---|---|
Water | Guar Syrup | |
1 | 0.90 | 0.94 |
2 | 0.92 | 0.99 |
3 | 1.00 | 0.95 |
4 | 1.10 | 1.15 |
5 | 1.20 | 1.24 |
6 | 1.25 | 1.24 |
7 | 1.25 | 1.29 |
8 | 1.30 | 1.30 |
9 | 1.35 | 1.31 |
10 | 1.40 | 1.42 |
11 | 1.40 | 1.41 |
12 | 1.50 | 1.54 |
13 | 1.65 | 1.58 |
14 | 1.70 | 1.70 |
15 | 1.75 | 1.80 |
16 | 1.80 | 1.79 |
17 | 1.80 | 1.81 |
18 | 1.85 | 1.86 |
19 | 1.90 | 1.88 |
20 | 1.95 | 1.95 |

We fail to reject H0. The data do not provide convincing evidence that swimming in guar syrup changes mean swimming speed.
