Question 8 (10 points)
Mr. Padilla, Facilities Coordinator for Falls Church City Schools, wanted to determine whether the more expensive “Steel Brand” floor wax was better than the cheaper “Giant” floor wax at protecting floor tiles against scratches. One liter (1L) of each type of floor wax was applied to each of 5 test sections of the main hall of George Mason High School. The test sections were all the same size and were covered with the same kind of tiles. Five (5) other test sections received no wax. After 4 weeks, the number of scratches in each of the test sections was counted. Below are the collected data: Number of scratches
