suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measures in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in x1 = 290 and s1 = 12 while another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x2 = 321 and s2 = 22.                   Is there evidence to support the claim that supplier 2 provides gears with higher mean impact strength. Use a =0.04, and assume that both populations are normally distributed with equal variances.

Two suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measures in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in x1 = 290 and s1 = 12 while another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x2 = 321 and s2 = 22.

                  Is there evidence to support the claim that supplier 2 provides gears with higher mean impact strength. Use a =0.04, and assume that both populations are normally distributed with equal variances.
