A company that manufactures golf balls produces a new type of ball that is supposed to travel significantly farther than the company’s previous golf ball. To determine this, 40 new-style golf balls and 40 original-style golf balls are randomly selected from the company’s production line on a specific day. A golf pro takes the balls to the driving range and hits the 40 new-style golf balls first and then the 40 original-style golf balls. The distance each ball travels is recorded. At the end of the session, the mean distance traveled for the new type of golf ball was found to be significantly greater than the mean distance for the original-style golf ball.
Which of the following is a valid conclusion?
Inferences can be made about all the golf balls produced on that day, and the conclusion can be made that new-style golf balls travel farther than the original-style of golf ball for this golf pro.
