An engineer wаnts tо determine if а new аllоy has a higher tensile strength than a standard allоy. The population standard deviations are known to be σ₁ = 5 MPa for the new alloy and σ₂ = 4 MPa for the standard alloy. Independent random samples are taken, with n₁ = 40 specimens of the new alloy having a mean tensile strength of X̄₁ = 150 MPa, and n₂ = 35 specimens of the standard alloy with a mean tensile strength of X̄₂ = 145 MPa. Using a significance level of α = 0.01, calculate the z-test statistic for testing whether the new alloy has a higher mean tensile strength than the standard alloy.
