Question 86

Essay

Videocassette recorder (VCR) tapes are designed so that users can repeatedly record new material over old material. However, after a number of re-recordings the tape begins to deteriorate. A VCR tape manufacturer is experimenting with a new technology, which hopefully will produce longer-lasting tapes. Thirty of the old-style tapes and 30 utilising the new technology were used in an experiment. The tapes were used to record and re-record programs until they began to deteriorate. The number of re-recordings is assumed to be normally distributed. It is generally accepted that the number of re-recordings should exceed 55. Any tapes that do not meet this criterion are considered to be unacceptable. The number of re-recordings were observed and shown in the accompanying table.  Old-style tapes \text { Old-style tapes } New-technology tapes \quad\quad\text { New-technology tapes }
