3. Two companies compete in the production of laser printers. The impact strength of a printer measured in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of n = 10 gears from company 1 results in T = 290 and s1 = 12, and another random sample of n2 = 16 gears from the second company results in F2 = 321 and s2 = 22. (a) Is there evidence to support the claim that company 2 provides gears with higher mean impact strength? Use a = 0.05, and assume that both populations are normally distributed with potentially unequal variance. Report the p-value for the test you have performed. (b) Do the data support the claim that the mean impact strength of gears from company 2 is at least 25 foot-pounds higher than that of supplier 1?

Question
3. Two companies compete in the production of laser printers. The impact strength of a
printer measured in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of
n = 10 gears from company 1 results in T = 290 and s1 = 12, and another random
sample of n2 = 16 gears from the second company results in F2 = 321 and s2 = 22.
(a) Is there evidence to support the claim that company 2 provides gears with higher
mean impact strength? Use a = 0.05, and assume that both populations are
normally distributed with potentially unequal variance. Report the p-value for
the test you have performed.
(b) Do the data support the claim that the mean impact strength of gears from
company 2 is at least 25 foot-pounds higher than that of supplier 1?
