    Case Study of Par

    Par, Inc. conducted a case study to compare the driving distances of their current golf ball model to a new model. They tested 40 samples of each ball with a mechanical hitting machine. Descriptive statistics showed the mean, standard error, standard deviation, and standard variance for both models. A hypothesis test was conducted to determine if the population means for distance were the same or different between the two models. The p-value of 0.064 was greater than the significance level of 0.05, so the null hypothesis that the means were the same was not rejected. Therefore, Par Inc. should produce the new ball model as there was no significant difference found between the estimated population means for distance of the current and new models.

    This report is case study of Par, Inc.

    Par, Inc., is a manufacturer of golf equipment. The company wants to check whether this new
    type of golf ball is comparable to the old ones. Therefore they did a test with 40 samples of both
    new balls and old ones. The testing was performed with a mechanical hitting machine so that
    any difference between the mean distances for the two models could be measure to evaluate
    the difference in the two models, presented with the sample sie of 40 and confidence level of
    !"#. The table below depicts a descriptive statistical summary for the case study.

    The hypothesis for Par, Inc. to compare the driving distance of the current and new golf
    balls is 40 5 6. 7 6) 8 0 2they are the same3

    P7:alue for this two tailed test is 0.0*, which is greater than level of significance ; 20.0"3.
    4ence, 40 will not be re<ected which shows that Par, Inc. should take a new ball in
    production as the P value indicates that there is no significant difference between
    estimated population mean of current as well new sample model. The !"# confidence
    interval for the population mean of the current model is )**.)* to ),*... and of the new
    model is )*!.+4 to ),*.... It means that the estimated population mean for Par, Inc.
    should lie within this range for consistent result. 4owever, the !"# confidence interval
    for the difference between the means of the two populations is 7+../ to 70.0". The
    calculated test statistic value is far from the re<ection area. The larger the sample sie
    the smaller the standard deviations which means point estimator of mean will become
    more precise. 4ence there is no need to take larger sample sie.
