Question 73

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.

Table 1: Mean drag coefficients and standard deviations

Design XDesign Y
Mean drag coefficient (Cd×103C_d \times 10^3Cd​×103)24.521.8
Standard deviation1.61.2

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.
