Final answer:

To find the test statistic (z-value) for the given question, calculate the standard errors for each sample using the formula Standard Error = Standard Deviation / Square Root of Sample Size. Then, calculate the z-value using the formula z = (Sample Mean (a) - Sample Mean (b)) / Square Root of (Standard Error (a)^2 + Standard Error (b)^2).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the test statistic (z-value) for the given question, we first need to calculate the standard error for each sample. The formula for standard error is:

Standard Error = Standard Deviation / Square Root of Sample Size

For the sample from operation a:

Standard Error (a) = 1.36 / Square Root of 50

For the sample from operation b:

Standard Error (b) = 1.06 / Square Root of 38

Once we have the standard errors, we can calculate the z-value using the formula:

z = (Sample Mean (a) - Sample Mean (b)) / Square Root of (Standard Error (a)^2 + Standard Error (b)^2)

Plugging in the values from the question, we get:

Standard Error (a) = 1.36 / Square Root of 50 = 0.192

Standard Error (b) = 1.06 / Square Root of 38 = 0.172

z = (8.05 - 7.26) / Square Root of (0.192^2 + 0.172^2) = 2.30

Therefore, the test statistic (z-value) for alpha = 0.10 would be 2.30.
