Stephen Stigler determined in 1977 that the speed of light is 299,710.5 km/sec. In 1882, Albert Michelson had collected measurements on the speed of light ("Student t-distribution," 2013). His measurements are given in table #7.3.6. Is there evidence to show that Michelson’s data is different from Stigler’s value of the speed of light? Test at the 5% level.

Between 1878-1879, Albert Michelson conducted experiments to measure the speed of light. He sent a beam of light from a revolving mirror to a stationary mirror far away and back again. Assuming that in one of his experiments, the distance from the revolving mirror to the stationary mirror was 15.0 km, then the time interval between the light leaving and returning to the revolving mirror would have been:
