Two machines are filling packages. Fifty samples from the first machine find a sample mean of 4.53 kilograms, and ninety samples from the second machine have a sample mean of 4.01 kilograms. The population standard deviation of the first machine is 0.80 kilograms, and the population standard deviation of the second machine is 0.60 kilograms. Test the claim that the machines are filling packages equally.

Two machines are filling packages. Fifty samples from the first machine find a sample mean of 4.53 kilograms,
and ninety samples from the second machine have a sample mean of 4.01 kilograms. The population standard
deviation of the first machine is 0.80 kilograms, and the population standard deviation of the second machine is
0.60 kilograms. Test the claim that the machines are filling packages equally.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The information provided in the question are as follows :

  Machine 1 Machine 2
Sample mean  1 = 4.53 2 = 4.01
Sample size  n1 = 50 n2 = 90
Population standard  σ1 = 0.80 σ2 = 0.60

We will use Z-test for difference between two means because the sample sizes (n1 and n2) are greater than 30.

The Z-test statistic for two samples is given by,
