The concentration of active ingredient in a liquid laundry detergent is thought to be affected by the type of catalyst used in the process. The standard deviation of active concentration is known to be 3 grams per liter, regardless of the catalyst type.
The concentration of active ingredient in a liquid laundry detergent is thought to be affected by the type of catalyst used in the process. The standard deviation of active concentration is known to be 3 grams per
liter, regardless of the catalyst type. Ten observations on concentration are taken with each catalyst, and the data follow:
Catalyst 1: 57.5, 66.9, 65.4, 65.4, 65.2, 62.6, 67.6, 63.7, 67.2, 71.0
Catalyst 2: 66.6, 71.4, 70.3, 69.3, 64.8, 69.6, 68.6, 69.4, 65.3, 68.8
(a) Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the difference in mean active concentrations for the two catalysts.
SH1 -#25
Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
(b) Is there any evidence to indicate that the mean active concentrations depend on the choice of catalyst?
