The tensile strength of
silicone rubber is thought to be a function of curing temperature.
A study was carried out in which 12 specimens of the rubber were
prepared using curing temperatures of 20C and 45C. The accompanying
data table shows the tensile strength values in megapascals.
Compute the sample standard deviation in tensile strength for the
samples separately for the two temperatures. Does it appear as if
an increase in temperature influences the variability in tensile?
strength? Explain.
