Question

1. Engineers are interested in comparing the mean hydrogen production rates per day for three different heliostat sizes. From the past week's records, the engineers obtained the amount of hydrogen produced per day for each of three heliostat sizes. Then they computed and compared the sample means, which showed that

the mean production rate per day increased with

the heliostat sizes.

 

a) Identify the type of study described here.

 

b) Discuss the types of inference that can and

cannot be drawn from this study.

 

2) A textile engineer is interested in measuring heat

resistance of four different types of treads used in

making fire-resistant clothing for firefighters. A random sample of 20 threads from each type was

taken and subjected to a heat test to determine

resistance (the length of time the fibers survive

before starting to burn). 

 

a) Explain what type of study this is and why.
