A trucking company wants to find out if their drivers are still alert after driving long hours. So, they give a test for alertness to two groups of drivers. They give the test to 400 drivers who have just finished driving 4 hours or less and they give the test to 585 drivers who have just finished driving 8 hours or more. The results of the tests are given below.
Passed Failed
