Problem 9 The density of Polyethylene can be used as a measure of its molecular structure: Mostly straight chains pack more closely and therefore have a higher density than branched chains. Differences in density can cause processing problems like poor bending and inaccurate compositions. The mean density of 80 PE pellets measured on the morning shift was 950+20 kg/m^3 and the mean density of 65 PE pellets measured on the evening shift was 940+15 kg/m^3. Are the two means different?
