The financial analysts believe that the purchase can be justified if the equipment leads to the average increase in production of atleast 10,000 bricks per day. Since we have to check whether the difference between the mean value of the bricks per day at Memphis plant and Birmingham plant is greater than 10000(for purchase to be justified), we will use hypothesis testing for means and compare the sampling distribution of the mean value of bricks produced in a day. This method is the typical method to solve these kind of problems.
