Question:

Many cheeses are produced in the shape of a wheel, and due to manufacturing inconsistencies, the amount of cheese, measured by weight, varies from wheel to wheel. Heidi Cembert wishes to determine if there is a significant difference, at the 10% level, between the weight per wheel of Gouda and Brie cheese. She randomly samples 16 wheels of Gouda and finds the mean to be 1.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.32 pound and then samples 14 wheels of Brie and finds the mean to be 1.05 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.25 pound. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to support Heidi’s contention that there is a difference in the mean weights of the two types of cheese?
