Consider the burning rate of a solid propellent used to power some of the aircraft components. The burning rate is a random variable described by an unknown distribution, and its sample mean burning rate is computed as 52cm/s, using 100 independent specimens of same known variance of 4. Perform a two-sided hypothesis test to support whether the pre-existing knowledge that the mean burning rate is 50cm/s is true or not, at a level of significance equal to 0.05.
