Joe Giancarlo in interested in reducing the driving time required for delivering pizzas. Joe believes equipping his delivery crew with GPS devices will greatly reduce time to delivery, so he randomly equips 16 of his drivers with a GPS and randomly selects another 11 drivers who are not equipped with GPS.

The results were as follows:

	N	Average Delivery Time	Standard Deviation
GPS	16	9.438	2.159
No GPS	11	11.000	2.490

Determine with an alpha of 0.01 whether deliveries where a GPS device is used are faster than deliveries where one is not.

State your null and alternate hypotheses:

Calculate your point estimate.

Calculate the standard error.

A researcher believes that alcohol intoxication might severely impair driving ability. To test this, she subjects 10 volunteers to a driving simulation test, first when sober, and then, after drinking amounts sufficient to raise their blood alcohol to .04. The researcher measures performance as the number of simulated obstacles with which the driver collides. Thus, the higher the number, the poorer the driving. The data is in the Excel file in the tab labeled Question 4. Test whether there are...
