extensively tested and determined safe for use in meats.A processor wants to compare the preservatives for their effects on retarding spoilage.Suppose 15 cuts of fresh meat are treated with preservative A and 15 are treated with preservative B,and the number of hours until spoilage begins is recorded for each of the 30 cuts of meat.The results are summarised in the table below.

$\begin{array} { l c } Preservative A&Preservative B\\\bar { X } _ { \mathrm { A } } = 106.4 \text { hours } & \bar { X } _ { \mathrm { B } } = 96.54 \text { hours } \\ S _ { \mathrm { A } } = 10.3 \text { hours } & S _ { \mathrm { B } } = 13.4 \text { hours } \end{array}$
