Two different chemical formulations of rocket fuel are considered for the peak thrust they deliver in a particular design for a rocket engine. The thrust/weight ratios (in kilograms force per gram) for each of the two fuels are measured several times. The results are as follows:
Fuel A: 54.3 52.9 57.9 58.2 53.4 51.4
56.8 55.9 57.9 56.8 58.4 52.9
55.5 51.3 51.8 53.3
Fuel B: 55.1 55.5 53.1 50.5 49.7 50.1
52.4 54.4 54.1 55.6 56.1 54.8
48.4 48.3 55.5 54.7
- a. Assume the fuel processing plant is presently configured to produce fuel B and changeover costs are high. Since an increased thrust/weight ratio for rocket fuel is beneficial, how should the null and alternate hypotheses be stated for a test on which to base a decision whether to switch to fuel A?
- b. Can you conclude at the 5% level that the switch to fuel A should be made?
