6. Fruit-n-Veg4U Market Gardens grow tomatoes. They want to improve their yield of tomatoes by at least 1 kg per plant by buying a new variety. The variance of the yield of the old variety of plant is \(0.5 \mathrm {~kg} ^ { 2 }\) and the variance of the yield for the new variety of plant is \(0.75 \mathrm {~kg} ^ { 2 }\). A random sample of 60 plants of the old variety has a mean yield of 5.5 kg . A random sample of 70 of the new variety has a mean yield of 7 kg .
- Stating your hypotheses clearly test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether or not there is evidence that the mean yield of the new variety is more than 1 kg greater than the mean yield of the old variety.
- Explain the relevance of the Central Limit Theorem to the test in part (a).
