Unisys maintains a hurricane database which provides information on hurricanes in the Atlantic/ Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Maximum wind speeds in knots for a sample of hurricanes over the past four hurricane seasons are shown (Unisys weather website, April 2009).

Use α = .05 and test to determine whether the distribution of hurricane wind speeds is the same for these two regions. What is your conclusion?
