Nerf guns
For a class project, a statistics student tested his theory about
the regulators found on Nerf guns: that they slow the muzzle
velocity of the darts. He collected three Nerf guns that had
22 barrels among them, each barrel individually regulated. He
fired a Nerf dart once using each barrel and measured how many
inches it traveled, using the same dart on all tests. He then
removed the regulators and fired one shot with each of the
barrels again. The data he recorded appears below:
barrel regulator no regulator

a) Is this an observational study or an experiment?
b) If there is no difference between firing with and without a
regulator, what percentage of all barrels would expect to fire a
Nerf dart further without a regulator than with a regulator?
c) How many barrels actually fired further without a regulator?
d) Assuming that there really is no difference between using a
regulator and not using a regulator, compute the probability of
observing a result at least as extreme as the one observed here?
e) Are the results of this study unlikely to be observed by
chance?
f) What can you conclude about the student's original question?
