B1 8 38479 5590 1976
B2 8 37611 5244 1854
Difference 8 868 1290 456
Test for equal true means in independent samples assuming equal true variances
Difference = mu B1 - mu B2
Estimate for difference: 868
95% CI for difference: (-4944, 6681)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = 0.32 P-Value = 0.753 DF = 14

Example 11 : An experiment to compare the yield (kg/ha) of Sundance winter wheat and Manitou spring wheat is considered. Data from nine different plots is given in the following table. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that true average yield for the Sundance winter wheat is more than 500 kg/ha than the Manitou spring wheat? Check the plausibility of any assumptions needed to carry out an appropriate test of hypothesis.
