Do the data support the claim that the two machines produce material with the same mean wear?
In one company, two machines producing tire material intended for commercial airplane tires are subjected to resistance
abrasion test in the field application. The QC engineer conducted their regular inspection of the two machines’ outputs. Upon
test, the following data was recovered from the 29 selected samples. For Machine 1, the sample average and standard deviation
was recorded to be 20mg per 1000 cycles and 2mg per 1000 cycles. For Machine 2, the sample average and standard deviation
is 15mg and 8mg per 1000 cycles. Do the data support the claim that the two machines produce material with the same mean
wear? Use α =0.10, and assume that each population is
