**Investigating Burning Rates of Solid-Fuel Propellants**

The burning rates of two different solid-fuel propellants used in aircrew escape systems are under examination. It's known that both propellants have the same standard deviation of burning rate, denoted as σ₁ = σ₂ = 3 centimeters per second.

Two random samples are tested, each with sample sizes of n₁ = n₂ = 20. The sample mean burning rates recorded are 24.3 and 24 centimeters per second, respectively.

**Hypothesis Testing**

To test whether the burning rates of the two propellants differ, calculate the value of z_calc using a hypothesis test for the difference in means (μ₁ - μ₂). Ensure the final result is reported to two decimal places. 

**Note:** This exercise involves statistical analysis using standard deviation and hypothesis testing methods to determine if the differences in burning rates are statistically significant.
