Strength of concrete: The compressive strength. in kilopascals, was measured for concrete blocks from five different batches of concrete, both three and six days after pouring. The data are as follows:

Chapter 11.3, Problem 11E, Strength of concrete: The compressive strength. in kilopascals, was measured for concrete blocks

Can you conclude that the mean strength after three days differs from the mean strength after six days?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Compute the test statistic.
State a conclusion. Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
