Question:

A study is made to see if increasing the substrate concentration has an appreciable effect on the velocity of a chemical reaction. With a substrate concentration of 1.5 moles per liter, the reaction was run 15 times with an average velocity of 7.5 micromoles per 30 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5. With a substrate concentration of 2.0 moles per liter, 12 runs were made, yielding an average velocity of 8.8 micromoles per 30 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Is there any reason to believe that this increase in substrate concentration causes an increase in the mean velocity by more than 0.5 micro mole per 30 minutes Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal variances?
