  CURRENT SUPPLIER A ALTERNATE SUPPLIER B
Mean 501.7 495.3
Variance 102.3 20.1
Observations 20 20

 

 
 
 
df = n1+n2-2 = 38         AND
 
 

  1. Determine if the standard deviation of the Alternate Supplier B is significantly less than 5. Use alpha = 0.05.
  2. Assuming that the variances of the two are not equal, test to determine if the Current Supplier A has more than 2 hours average hours of toner use than Alternate Supplier B. Use alpha = 0.05.
  3. What is your recommendation to the company with respect to the supplier to select? Explain.
