A simple way to solve this would be using the student t-test Xavg± 2.776 /N^(1/2) for a 95% confidence interval. This implies that 95% of your data will lie within the limits from the equation above. So since you have same standard deviation and sample size but different means => the two means are different. the length of the candy bar was statistically different on both days. |
