Mr. C studies the strength of the material used for a baseball bat, he knows that the strength is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 175 psi. A random sample 30 specimens has a mean strength of 2,750 psi. a) What is the z-value when the mean strength is tested to be 3,000 psi, b) What will be the decision for the hypothesis testing with a=0.05 c) What is the minimum mean tensile strength needed from 30 samples, for the claim of 3,000 psi to be failed to rejected.
Ten measurements are taken resulting in a standard deviation of 0.10 s.a. Determine the uncertainty in the measurement.b. If an uncertainty one fifth the value found in a. is desired how many measurementswould be required (assume that the standard deviation with this number ofmeasurements is the same as with ten measurements).
The standard deviation of linear dimensions P and Q are 3 um and 4 um respectively. When assembled, the standard deviation in um of the resulting linear dimension P+Q will be,
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.

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.
