Many boxed cake mixes include special high-altitude baking instructions. One would like to investigate that, on an average, cakes take longer to bake at high altitudes. A consumer group made several similar cakes in nine-inch rounded pans in Denver and Miami, and carefully recorded the time to bake (in minutes). The data is given as follows: Baking Times at High Altitude 22.8 30.0 27.3 30.3 28.3 31.1 27.0 26.8 26.3 29.1 23.5 26.2 29.2 23.0 Baking Times at Low Altitude...
