Question 11 OR alternative.

A company produces packets of sweets. Two different machines, \(A\) and \(B\), are used to fill the packets. The manager decides to assess the performance of the two machines. He selects a random sample of 50 packets filled by machine \(A\) and a random sample of 60 packets filled by machine \(B\). The masses of sweets, \(x \mathrm{~kg}\), in packets filled by machine \(A\) and the masses of sweets, \(y \mathrm{~kg}\), in packets filled by machine \(B\) are summarised as follows.
\[\Sigma x=22.4 \quad \Sigma x^{2}=10.1 \quad \Sigma y=28.8 \quad \Sigma y^{2}=16.3\]

A test at the \(\alpha \%\) significance level provides evidence that the mean mass of sweets in packets filled by machine \(A\) is less than the mean mass of sweets in packets filled by machine \(B\). Find the set of possible values of \(\alpha\).
