One tailed test for difference between means (small sample)
Not what you're looking for?
A national manufacturer of ball bearings is experimenting with two different processes for producing precision ball bearings. It is important that the diameters be as close as possible to an industry standard. The output from each process is sampled and the average error from the industry standard is calculated. The results are presented below.
Process A Process B
Mean 0.002 mm 0.0026 mm
Standard Deviation 0.0001 mm 0.00012 mm
Sample Size 12 14
The researcher is interested in determining whether there is evidence that the two processes yields different average errors from the industry standard.

One tailed test for difference between means (small sample size)
At significance level= 0.05
1 2
Process A Process B
Mean =?Ê= 0.0020 0.0026 mm Difference of means= 0.0006 = 0.0026 - 0.002
Standard deviation =s= 0.00010 0.00012 mm
Sample size=n= 12 14
pooled estimate of ?Ð^2=sp^2={ (n1-1)s1^2+(n2-1)s2^2}/(n1+n2-2)=
=(11 * 0.0001 ^2 + 13 * 0.00012 ^2 )/ 24 = 0.000000012383
pooled estimate of ?Ð=sp= = ...
