Preliminary Observations • The Mean of AA Fly (7.167) is lesser than TT Air (10.229). This means that the average number of hours of AA Fly is lesser than TT Air during each 24-hour period i.e. (10.229-7.167=3.062). • The sample size of AA Fly (27) is lesser than TT Air (28). Even though AA Fly’s sample is 1 day shorter than TT Air‚ it does not significantly affect the output as the one day does not change much (unless there had been a market shock). However based on Central Limit Theorem‚
