m1 = mean driving m2 = mean driving
distance of Par distance of Rap
golf balls golf balls
m1 – m2 = difference between
the mean distances
Simple random sample Simple random sample
of n1 Par golf balls of n2 Rap golf balls
x1 = sample mean distance x2 = sample mean distance
for the Par golf balls for the Rap golf balls
x1 - x2 = Point Estimate of m1 – m2
Point estimate of m1 m2 = x1 x2
= 275 258
= 17 yards
where:
m1 = mean distance for the population
of Par, Inc. golf balls
m2 = mean distance for the population
of Rap, Ltd. golf balls
