Two types of plastic are suitable for use by an electronic calculator manufacturer. The breaking strength of the plastic is important. From random samples of n1 = 10 and n2 = 12 batches the respective means were obtained as ¯y1. = 152.5 and ¯y2. = 153.7. The total sum of square for the data was SSTotal = 31.865.
(a) Complete the following ANOVA table.

Total 31.865
(b) Calculate the t statistic for the appropriate two sample t test for checking the difference between the true mean of the two treatment levels.
(c) Use R to calculate exact p-values of the F-test from ANOVA and the t-test above. (d) What do you conclude? Is there a significant advantage to one plastic formulation or other at the level of α = 0.05?
