Two machines are being considered to weigh luggage at an airport.A standard 30 kg weight is used to test the machines.Sample weigh-ins were taken from each machine and the following results were obtained. $$\begin{array} { l c c }
& \text { Machine 1 } & \text { Machine 2 } \
\hline \text { Sample size } & 25 & 36 \
\text { Sample mean } & 31.8 \mathrm {~kg} & 30.9 \mathrm {~kg} \
\text { Sample SD } & 2.2 \mathrm {~kg} & 1.98 \mathrm {~kg} \
\hline
\end{array}$$ df = 48.
At the 0.02 level of significance,test the claim that the population mean for Machine 1 is different from the population mean for Machine 2.
