The following data, recorded in kilometers per liter, represent the fuel consumption of two vehicles tested at 80-km per hour
1. Null and Alternative Hypothesis
Null : µ1=µ2
Alternative: µ1≠µ2

2. Statistical test
Two sample z-test (two-tailed), since the standard deviation or variance is known a=0.01 z critical = 2.58
