Use the fоllоwing nаrrаtive tо аnswer questions 5 – 8. The plant manager of an automotive parts manufacturer is in the market for a new stamping machine. He has identified two possibilities, Machine A and Machine B. The two machines differ in cost, reliability, and productivity. The firm’s accountant has calculated that Machine A must produce more than 25 more conforming units per hour on average than Machine B to warrant buying Machine A. Both machines were operated independently for 21 hours. The number of conforming units produced by each machine were recorded, and the following summary information was obtained using statistical software. Use α = 0.05 wherever applicable to test the hypotheses H0: μ1 - μ2 ≤ 25 Vs HA: μ1 - μ2 > 25.
