A farmer is testing an experimental new plant fertilizer that is supposed to increase the weight of a particular apple variety.
A control sample of 25 apples grown using the usual fertilizer have a mean weight of 75 grams and a sample variance of 90 grams<m>^2</m> (for an individual apple).
An experimental sample of 25 apples grown using the new fertilizer have a mean weight of 79 grams and a sample variance of 90 grams<m>^2</m>.

We have an established factory which produces coins that are close to fair.
We're opening up a second factory, and we'd like to ensure the machines are calibrated to produce coins which behave similarly to the ones produced in the established factory.
We pick one sample coin from each factory, and flip each sample coin 100 times.
The coin from the established factory flips 52 heads in 100 flips.
The coin from the new factory flips 62 heads in 100 flips.
Is this strong enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the two factories produce similar coins at a 0.05 significance level?
