To estimate the effect of CD writing, 30 users are asked to work on their laptops until the “low battery” sign comes on. Eighteen users without a CD writer worked an average of 5.3 hours with a standard deviation of 1.4 hours. The other twelve, who used their CD writer, worked an average of 4.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6 hours. Assuming Normal distributions with equal population variances, does a CD writer change the battery life on a laptop? Alpha=0.10.
