An aerospace engineer is testing the aerodynamic efficiency of two different winglet designs, Design X and Design Y, across 10 different simulated turbulence intensities in a wind tunnel. For each turbulence level, the drag coefficient (Cd×103C_d \times 10^3Cd×103) is recorded for both designs.
| Design X | Design Y | |
|---|---|---|
| Mean drag coefficient (Cd×103C_d \times 10^3Cd×103) | 24.5 | 21.8 |
| Standard deviation | 1.6 | 1.2 |
Name an appropriate statistical test that could be used to analyse whether there is a significant difference in the drag coefficients between the two designs. Explain why the test you have chosen is suitable in this case.
