The Engineering Department at Sims Software, Inc., recently developed two chemical solutions designed to increase the usable life of computer disks. A sample of disks treated with the first solution lasted
86, 78, 66, 83, 84, 81, 84, 109, 65, and 102 hours.
Those treated with the second solution lasted
91, 71, 75, 76, 87, 79, 73, 76, 79, 78, 87, 90, 76, and 72 hours.
At the .10 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the length of time the two types of treatment lasted?
