A process converts lead to gold. However, the production varies due to the power of the alchemist. It is known that the process is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5g. How many samples must be taken to be 90% certain that an estimate of the mean process is within 1.5g of the true but unknown mean yield?

Two soft drink machines dispense liquids of 10 ounces, on the average. The question is whether the two machines are equally consistent in the dispensing of the liquid. To answer this question, a sample of size 10 was obtained from each machine and the sample standard deviations were computed to be s1 = 1.87 ounces and s2 = 1.25 ounces. Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis using α = 0.05
