Chapter 7, Problem 56SE
The accompanying data on crack initiation depth (μm) was read from a lognormal probability plot that appeared in the article “Incorporating Small Fatigue Crack Growth in Probabilistic Life Prediction: Effect of Stress Ratio in Ti-6Al-2Sn-6Mo” (Intl. J. of Fatigue, 2013: 83–95). Although the pattern in the plot was quite straight, a normal probability plot of the data also shows a reasonably linear pattern. And a boxplot indicates that the distribution is quite symmetric in the middle 50% of the data and only mildly skewed overall. It is therefore reasonable to estimate and predict using t intervals.
- a. Estimate the true average crack initiation depth with a 99% CI and interpret the resulting interval.
- b. Predict the value of a single crack initiation depth by constructing a 99% PI.
- c. Interpret in context the meaning of 99% in (b).

An article in Sensors and Actuators A: Physical [“Characterization and Simulation of Avalanche PhotoDiodes for Next-Generation Colliders” (2011, Vol. 172(1), pp. 181–188)] considered an avalanche photodiode (APD) to detect charged particles in a photo. The number of arrivals in each detection window was modeled with a Poisson distribution with a mean depending on the intensity of beam. For one beam intensity, the number of electrons arriving at an APD follows a Poisson dis- tribution with a mean of 1.74 particles per detection window of 200 nanoseconds.
a. What is the mean and variance of the time for 100 arrivals?b. What is the probability that the time until the fifth particle arrives is greater than 1.0 nanosecond?
The article “Dynamics of Insulin Action in Hypertension: Assessment from Minimal ModelInterpretation of Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test Data” (R. Burattini, M. Morettini, etal., Med Biol Eng Comput, 2011:831–841) compared levels of an insulin sensitivity index SIin patients with high blood pressure and patients with normal blood pressure. Ten patientswith high blood pressure had a mean value of 3.4 with a standard deviation of 0.6, and eightpatients with normal blood pressure had a mean value of 7.9 with a standard deviation of0.6. Units are 10−5 · min−1 · pmol−1. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference inmean levels between those with high blood pressure and those with normal blood pressure.
