Consider the following information on ultimate tensile strength (lb/in) for a sample of n = 4 hard zirconium copper wire specimens (from “Characterization Methods for Fine Copper Wire,” Wire J. Intl., Aug., 1997: 74-80):
X (bar)= 76,831 s = 180 smallest xi = 76,683 largest xi = 77,048Determine the values of the two middle sample observations (and don’t do it by successive guessing!).
An article includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberry drink and another sample filled with cola.

Does the data suggest that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength? Base your answer on a P-value. (Use
? = 0.05.)
State the relevant hypotheses. (Use ?1 for the strawberry drink and ?2 for the cola.)
H0: ?1 − ?2 = 0Ha: ?1 − ?2 ≥ 0H0: ?1 − ?2 = 0Ha: ?1 − ?2 ≠ 0 H0: ?1 − ?2 = 0Ha: ?1 − ?2 < 0H0: ?1 − ?2 = 0Ha: ?1 − ?2 > 0
Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.)

The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with ? = 0.32 and that x = 5.21. (Use ? = 0.05.)
(a) Does this indicate conclusively that the true average percentage differs from 5.5?State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≠ 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? ≥ 5.5 H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? < 5.5H0: ? = 5.5Ha: ? > 5.5
Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
