A materials engineer is working in a research project to evaluate the effect of one type of admixture on the compressive strength of concrete. She tested 10 mortar cubes made without admixture and 10 others with admixture after 28 days of curing. The compressive strengths of cubes without admixture were 25.1, 24.4, 25.8, 25.2, 23.9, 24.7, 24.3, 26.0, 23.8, and 24.6 MPa. The compressive strengths of cubes with admixture were 25.3, 26.8, 26.5, 24.5, 27.2, 24.8, 24.1, 25.9, 25.3, and 25.0 MPa. Using the statisticalt-test, does this admixture show an increase of the compressive strength of the cement mortar at a level of significance of 0.05?
