2- A product developer is investigating the tensile strength of a new synthetic fiber that will be used to make cloth for men's shirts. Strength is usually affected by the percentage of cotton used in the blend of materials for the fiber. The engineer conducted a completely randomized experiment with five levels of cotton content and replicated the experiment five times. The levels of cotton used in the experiment were 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35%. a. Is there evidence to support the claim that cotton content affects the mean tensile strength? Why? Use a=0.05.
