An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint, with similar designs. Since Fundash was built on rougher terrain, the designer of the<br>courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is greater than the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 260 Fundash<br>runners and 245 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as independent random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 260 Fundash runners<br>complete the course with a mean time of 78.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 8.3 minutes. The 245 individuals complete Coolsprint with a mean time of<br>76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.7 minutes.
