A pharmaceutical company is interested in testing the effect of humidity on the weights of pills sold in a new aluminum package. Let X and Y denote the weight of a pill in the old aluminum package and in the new aluminum package (respectively) after the packaged pill has spent one week in chamber kept at 30 °C and 100 % humidity. Define a null and alternates hypothesis to test whether the old aluminum package pills weigh less than the new aluminum package pills following the humidity-chamber treatment. The following random samples of X yielded the following weights in milligrams: 373.2 376.7 381.6 382.1 388.7 384.0
397.9 389.8 385.1 371.3 383.5
and the following random sample of Y yielded the following weights in milligrams:
395.5 384.8 383.5 386.5 394.8
391.6 397.7 384.0 391.7 398.8
Define a critical region with a significance level of alpha = 0.05 and calculate the value of the test statistic. Accept or reject the null hypothesis and then state a scientific conclusion about the packaged-pill humidity experiment.
