In the figure, “×” represents the “No aging” group and “◦” represents the “Aging”group.
(b) Yes; tensile strength is greatly reduced due to the aging process.
(c) MeanAging = 209.90, and MeanNo aging = 222.10.
(d) MedianAging = 210.00, and MedianNo aging = 221.50. The means and medians for
each group are similar to each other.

(c) The difference of the means is 2.0 and the differences of the medians and the
trimmed means are 0.5, which are much smaller. The possible cause of this might
be due to the extreme values (outliers) in the samples, especially the value of 37.

(c) Based on the plot, it seems that high temperature yields more high values of
tensile strength, along with a few low values of tensile strength. Overall, the
temperature does have an influence on the tensile strength.

(d) It alsoseems that the variation of the tensile strength gets larger when the cure
temperature is increased.
