Fifty specimens of a new computer chip were tested for speed in a certain application

Chapter 6, Problem 8

(choose chapter or problem)

Fifty specimens of a new computer chip were tested for speed in a certain application, along with 50 specimens of chips with the old design. The average speed, in MHz, for the new chips was 495.6, and the standard deviation was 19.4. The average speed for the old chips was 481.2, and the standard deviation was 14.3.

a. Can you conclude that the mean speed for the new chips is greater than that of the old chips? State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses, and then find the P-value.

b. A sample of 60 even older chips had an average speed of 391.2 MHz with a standard deviation of 17.2 MHz. Someone claims that the new chips average more than 100MHzfaster than these very old ones. Do the data provide convincing evidence for this claim? State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses, and then find the P-value.
