A garden seed wholesaler wishes to test the claim that tomato seeds germinate faster when each individual seed is "pelletized" within a coating of corn starch. The table below shows the germination times, in days, of six pelletized seeds. The table also shows the germination times in days of six un-coated seeds (the controls).
Pelitized: 9 9 10 8 6 6
Control: 9 11 12 9 12 11
Can you conclude that the mean germination time for pelletized seeds is less than the mean for the un-pelletized seeds? Use the alpha = .05 as the level of significance.
A. Yes.
B. No.
