Question: Sports and Leisure The curve in a hockey stick is measured by first placing the face of the blade against a flat surface. The curvature of the stick is restricted so that the perpendicular distance from any point at the heel to the end of the blade is at most 3 4 inch.9 Independent random samples of hockey sticks used by players on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens teams were obtained. The curve in each stick was measured (in inches), and the resulting data are summarized in the following table.
Assume the underlying distributions are normal, with unequal variances. Is there any evidence to suggest that the mean curve in Toronto sticks is different from the mean curve in Montreal sticks? Use a = 0.001.
