A technical engineer is interested in understanding the battery life of two different laptops for student usage at a community college in California. The two models he has are Madroid and Krapple. He randomly assigned students to one of the laptop models and recorded the number of minutes the students were able to use the computer until the battery ran out. Below is the data collected.

Student # Madroid Krapple
1 540 575
2 380 525
3 420 583
4 480 539
5 530 604
6 467 540
7 465 640
8 498 630
9 482 725
10 309 780
11 609 530
12 504 280
13 590 350
14 403 376
15 602 540

Does the technical engineer have statistically significant evidence to present to the university budget committee to purchase Krapple because it has, on average, a longer battery life?

Provide the p-value from your analysis.

m=c(540,380,420,480,530,467,465,498,482,309,609,504,590,403,602)
k=c(575,525,583,539,604,540,640,630,725,780,530,280,350,376,540)

we perform two sample t test for the above

>t.test(k,m)

gives us the below
   Welch Two Sample t-test

data: k and m
t = 1.5395, df = 23.693, p-value = 0.1369
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
-21.3579 146.4246
sample estimates:
mean of x mean of y
547.8000 485.2667

P VALUE =0.1369
