(a) Assuming that the population variances from both conditions are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean surface hardness between untreated and treated steel plates? (Use α = 0.05.) (Include: null and alternate hypotheses, value of test statistic, decision rule, conclusion in a complete sentence that includes why in terms of the decision rule.)
(b) Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.
(c) In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)?
(d) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence

Suppose that an experiment is designed to compare differences in mean surface hardness of steel plates used in intaglio printing (measured in indentation numbers), based on two different surface conditions-untreated and treated by lightly polishing with emery paper. In the experiment, 40 steel plates are randomly assigned-20 that are untreated, and 20 that are treated. The results of the experiment are in the “Intaglio” data in Chapter 10_HW_Data.xls. Assuming that the population variances from both conditions are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean surface hardness between untreated and treated steel plates?

However, in a pandemic like this, it is suspected that there is a change in household water consumption. A researcher conducted a survey and took samples of 12 household heads and asked about the use of the gallon water. The data obtained are as follows: 74, 8, 13, 17, 13, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 9, 7. If it is known that the data is normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5% to test whether the average household water use has increased (greater than 10 gallons)? What will happen if the household's water use increases by 5% from the previous one? Analyze your answer and come up with a conclusion!arrow_forward
