In an industrial chemistry laboratory, a researcher investigated the effect of two different catalysts on the yield of an organic compound. Using 10 distinct batches of raw material, the researcher conducted a series of reactions. Each batch was split into two equal samples, with one sample processed using Catalyst P and the other using Catalyst Q.
The mass of the purified organic compound yielded (in grams) from each sample was recorded.
| Batch | Catalyst P | Catalyst Q |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 14.3 | 15.4 |
| 2 | 15.8 | 16.9 |
| 3 | 12.1 | 13.2 |
| 4 | 16.5 | 17.1 |
| 5 | 13.9 | 14.8 |
| 6 | 11.2 | 12.5 |
| 7 | 17.0 | 18.2 |
| 8 | 10.5 | 11.9 |
| 9 | 14.6 | 15.3 |
| 10 | 13.2 | 14.9 |
Calculate the mean values for both Catalyst P and Catalyst Q. Show your workings.
