If you break 20 cylinders (N) and obtain a mean compressive strength of 4,800 psi (m), would you believe the contractor’s claim? Why? (Hint; Use statistical t-test.) Next, what is the maximum number of breaks (N) that could be performed that WOULD make you believe the contractor’s claim? Assume that the results wouldn’t change, i.e. σ = 400 psi and m = 4,800 psi. Recall that the equation to find the lower bound of a one sided distribution is LB = μ - (tσ)* σ/(N^0.5) Because the sample size is relatively small, use the ‘student t test’ to represent the normal distribution. You should have at least 95% confidence in the results. That means that α = 0.05. Keep in mind that this is a one tailed distribution, since we only care about the lower bound (i.e. meaning that we are only concerned about concrete that doesn’t meet our minimum strength…arrow_forward
