Hotpot stoves use a standard oven insulation. To test its effectiveness they take random samples from the production line and heat the ovens selected to 400C after switching off. For a sample of 8 ovens the times in minutes are: Sample A 14.8 15.7 15.9 16.6 15.7 14.9 16.9 15.4 They decide to explore a cheaper insulation and using this on a sample of 9 the times taken for the same temperature drop are Sample B 15.4 14.6 14.5 13.9 13.7 15.2 13.7 14.7 13.7 Are the firm justified in asserting there is no real evidence of a different rate of heat loss?
