T! câu 18 "#n câu 22 A computer scientist is studying the usefulness of two different softwares
in improving programming tasks. 4 randomly selected professional programmers, familiar with both
languages, are asked to code a standard function using both softwares. The time (in minutes) required
for 4 programmers to write the function is recorded in the following table.
Software 1 (X) 15.4 15.4 15.7 16.9
Software 2 (Y) 19.5 20.7 19.8 19.5
Suppose that the time difference between writing the function using software 1 and software 2 is a
random variable that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.9 minutes. Is the
above data sufficient to confirm that the time required to write a function using software 1 is less than
than using software 2 at the significance level of 0.01?
18. Determine the appropriate testing method.

D None of the others.
E t-test to compare the means of two non-independent populations (paired samples).
