22. To compare the average producing time of two firms about a specific product in a handicraft
manufacturing company, two random samples from these firms were tested. The random sample
of 70 products produced by firm 1 shows an average producing time of 20.7 hours and a standard
deviation of 5 hours. A total producing time of 195 hours and a sample variance is 7 hours are
recorded for the random sample of 9 products from firm 2. Assume that the producing time of each
firm follows a normal distribution. Can we conclude that firm 1 can produce that specific product
faster than firm 2?

22. To compare the average producing time of two firms about a specific product in a handicraft
manufacturing company, two random samples from these firms were tested. The random sample
of 70 products produced by firm 1 shows an average producing time of 20.7 hours and a standard
deviation of 5 hours. A total producing time of 195 hours and a sample variance is 7 hours are
recorded for the random sample of 9 products from firm 2. Assume that the producing time of each
firm follows a normal distribution. Can we conclude that firm 1 can produce that specific product
faster than firm 2?
