Exercise 11

Martin Motors has in stock three cars of the same make and model. The president would like to compare the gas
consumption of the three car (labeled Car A, Car B, Car C and Car D) and four different type of gasoline. For each

shows the number of miles driven in each trial.

Distance ( miles)
Types of Gasoline Car A Car B Car C
Regular 22.4 20.8 21.5
Super regular 17.0 19.4 20.7
Unleaded 19.2 20.2 21.2
Premium Unleaded 20.3 18.6 20.4
