Exercise 10-28 presented measurements of plastic coating thickness at two different application temperatures. Test H0: σ21 = σ22 against H1 : σ21 ≠ σ22 using α = 0.01.


Exercise 10-28

The thickness of a plastic film (in mils) on a substrate material is thought to be influenced by the temperature at which the coating is applied. In completely randomized experiment, 11 substrates are coated at 125°F, resulting in a sample mean coating thickness of x̅1 = 103.5 and a sample standard deviation of s1 = 10.2. Another 13 substrates are coated at 150°F for which x̅2 = 99.7 and s2 = 20.1 are observed. It was originally suspected that raising the process temperature would reduce mean coating thickness.
