An engineer wants to know if producing metal bars using a new experimental treatment rather than the conventional treatment makes a difference in the tensile strength of the bars (the ability to resist tearing when pulled lengthwise). At
alphaαequals=0.05
answer parts (a) through (e). Assume the population variances are equal and the samples are random. If convenient, use technology to solve the problem.
