tensile strength data for two samples,
one in which specimens were exposed
to an aging process and one in which
there was no aging of the specimens

6.4884
st dev

(b) Does there appear to be any
evidence that aging affects the
variability in tensile strength?

(a) Calculate the sample variance as

well as standard deviation in tensile
strength for both samples.

From the value of stdev,, we can say

that there appear to be evidence that
aging affects the variability in tensile
strength. The stdev of the polymer
are 4.86 and 6.48 for no aging
polymer
and
aging
polymer,
respectively. There is a bit differences
between the two variability that is
1.62.

it appear as if an increase in
temperature influences the variability
in tensile strength, it is shown through
the changing of st dev values.
Temperature of 20C gives st dev 0.07
in tensile strength value and Temperature of
45C gives st dev 0.2.
