Interpretation:

A Paired Sample T-test was conducted to evaluate if there is evidence that cars equipped with
radial tires produce better fuel economy than cars equipped with regular belted tires with
same drivers and driven over the same test course. There was statistically significant
difference in the car’s gas economy measured in km/1 between Radial tire (M=5.7500,
SD=1.05270) and Regular Belted (M=5.6083, SD=.99404), t (11) =2.485, p < .000. The p
value, Sig. (2 tailed) =0.03 which is less than 0.05 means that there is a statistically
significant difference between cars equipped with radial tires and cars equipped with regular
belted tires. The magnitude of the difference of the means is in between small to moderate
(eta squared= 0.3595). Therefore, the null hypothesis is being rejected.

Is there an evidence that cars equipped with radial tires produce better fuel economy?
Yes, there is an evidence that cars equipped with radial tires produce better fuel economy. The
difference of the means measured in kilometer per hour between radial and belted tires
signifies that the radial has better fuel economy than the belted tires.
