A sample from the first machine has a standard deviation of 2.7379 with a sample size of 30.
A sample from the second machine has a standard deviation of 4.7451 with a sample size of 28.
The test statistic is =
(Report answer accurate to two decimal places.)
Thus, the decision is:
-Fail to reject the null hypothesis
-Reject the null hypothesis
