A chemical engineer has been working on developing a new type of candle wax made from coconut oil. The engineer wonders how the amount of time that a candle made of coconut oil wax will burn compared to the time that a candle made of beeswax will burn.
After gathering the appropriate data and ensuring that the necessary conditions have been satisfied, which type of significance test should the engineer conduct?
The engineer will conduct "two-sample t-test for the difference in population mean".
The two-sample t-test is used to test the difference (d0) between two population means. A common application is to determine whether the means are equal.
