When bonding teeth, orthodontists must maintain a dry field. A new bonding adhesive has been developed to eliminate the necessity of a dry field. However, there is a concern that the new bonding adhesive is not strong as the current standard, a composite adhesive. Tests on a sample of 9 extracted teeth bonded with the new adhesive resulted in a mean breaking strength (after 24 hours) .62 mpa and the standard deviation of s= .45 Mpa. Orthodontists want to know if the true mean breaking strength is less than 5.20 Mpa, the mean breaking strength of the composite adhesive
