Question

Comment on one aspect of the comparison of data from the two
datasets that can be seen more easily on the histograms than on
the boxplots.

A sports equipment manufacturer has developed a new reasonably priced
golf ball that it hopes will allow average golfers to hit the ball straighter.
A concern is that this new technology might impact on the distance that the
ball travels. To compare distances, Sarah, a company researcher, conducts
an experiment where 20 current balls and 20 new balls are subjected to
distance tests, using a mechanical hitting device for consistency.
The results of the tests, with distances given to the nearest metre, are given
in Table 1.
