The thickness of eight pads designed for use in aircraft engine mounts are measured.The measurements are 41.83, 42.68, 41.01, 41.37, 41.83, 40.50, 41.70, and 41.42.Assume the thicknesses are a sample from an approximately symmetric distribution.
Check the data to determine whether they are from a population that follows a normal distribution.
Regardless of your answer in part a, carry out an appropriate nonparametric test to determine whether the mean thickness is greater than 41.Use = .05.
