Robin who is studying the tensile strength of a steel alloy intended for use in golf club shafts knows that the tensile strength is approximately normally distributed with σ = 175 psi. A random sample of 15 specimens has a mean tensile strength of 2,750 psi. Test hypothesis at 0.05 level when mean strength is tested to be 3,000 psi.
In an Omani factory, a machine that produces "W-product" has been set so that the true average diameter of the "W-product" it produces is 0.602 in. If its diameter is within 0.04 in. of this target value, this is acceptable. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the products have normally distributed diameters with mean value 0.601 in. and standard deviation 0.002 in. What percentage of the "W-product" produced will not be acceptable
A fiber-spinning process currently produces a fiber whose strength is normally distributed with a mean of 75 N/m2. The minimum acceptable strength is 65 N/m2 . Ten percent of the fiber produced by the current method fails to meet the minimum specification. What is the standard deviation of fiber strengths in the current process? If the mean remains at 75 N/m2, what must the standard deviation be so that only 1% of the fiber will fail to meet the specification? If the standard deviation is 5 N/m2, to what value must the mean be set so that only 1% of the fiber will fail to meet the specification?
In the manufacture of electroluminescent lamps, several different layers of ink are deposited onto a plastic substrate. The thickness of these layers is critical if specifications regarding the final color and intensity of light are to be met. Let X1 and X2 denote the thickness of two different layers of ink. It is known that X1 is normally distributed with a mean of 0.1 mm and a standard deviation of 0.00031 mm, and X2 is also normally distributed with a mean of 0.23 mm and a standard deviation of 0.00017 mm. Assume that these variables are independent. Let T as in the total thickness. a.) Find the estimated ink total thicknessb.) Find the estimated standard deviation of the ink total thickness
The absolute viscosity for sunflower oil is supposed to average 0.0311 Pa⋅s at 38 ∘C. Suppose a food scientist collects a random sample of 4 quantities of sunflower oil and computes the mean viscosity for his sample to be x¯=0.0318 Pa⋅s at 38 ∘C. Assume that measurement errors are normally distributed and that the population standard deviation of sunflower oil viscosity is known to be σ=0.0009 Pa⋅s. The scientist will use a one‑sample z‑test for a mean, at a significance level of α=0.01, to evaluate the null hypothesis, H0:μ=0.0311 Pa⋅s against the alternative hypothesis, H1:μ≠0.0311 Pa⋅s. Complete the scientist's analysis by calculating the value of the one-sample z‑statistic, the p‑value, and then deciding whether to reject the null hypothesis. First, compute the z‑statistic, z. Provide your answer precise to two decimal places. Avoid rounding within calculations. z= Determine the P-value of the test using either a table of standard normal critical values or…
