"A carpet manufacturing company is comparing the tensile strengths of two different types of synthetic fiber. Synthetic fiber A used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75 psi and standard deviation 8 psi, and synthetic fiber B has tensile strength that is 75 psi and standard deviation 12 psi. Random sample of nA = 16 and nB = 9 of fiber specimens are selected. Find the probability that the sample mean of fiber specimen A exceeds the sample mean of fiber specimen B by 4."

A manufacturer claims that the average tensile strength of thread A exceeds the average tensile strength of thread B by at least 12 kilograms. To test this claim, 50 pieces of each type of thread were tested under similar conditions. Type A thread had an average tensile strength of 86.7 kilograms with a standard deviation of 6.28 kilograms, while type B thread had an average tensile strength of 77.8 kilograms with a standard deviation of 5.61 kilograms. Test the manufacturer’s claim using a 0.05 level of significance. 1. Determine the Z calculated in two decimal places. 2. Determine the Z table in two decimal places. 3. Is the manufacturing claim statistically valid? yes or no
The length of a iron bar is measured by a number of different observers and the following set of 12measurements are recorded (units mm)302,304,303,305,307,309,310,311,312,301,303,302. Find the values of mean, median, variance andstandard deviation.
The shear modulus, G, of an alloy can be determined by measuring the angular twist, θ,resulting from a torque applied to a cylindrical rod made from the alloy. For a rod of radius Rand a torque applied at a length L from a fixed end, the modulus is found by G=2LT/pR4θ.Examine the effect of the relative uncertainty of each measured variable on the shearmodulus. If during test planning all of the uncertainties are estimated to be 1%, what is theuncertainty in G?
Pressure distribution measurements are made on a two-dimensional wing model placed in a wind tunnel. The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated? Estimate how many data have negative value (?<0) after elimination.
