In an experiment to compare bearing strengths of pegs inserted in two different types of mounts, a sample of 14 observations on stress limit for red oak mounts resulted in a sample mean and sample standard deviation of 8.48 MPa and .79 MPa, respectively, whereas a sample of 12 observations when Douglas fir mounts were used gave a mean of 9.36 and a standard deviation of 1.52 ("Bearing Strength of White Oak Pegs in Red Oak and Douglas Fir Timbers," J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1998, 109-114). Consider testing whether or not true average stress limits are identical for the two types of mounts. Compare df's and P-values for the unpooled and pooled t tests.
