The vertical displacement v of a cracked slurry infiltrated fiber concrete member at maximum shear stress is given by v = a + bw, where w is the crack width, and a and b are estimated from data to be a = 2.5 ± 0.1 mm and b = 0.05 ± 0.01. Assume that w = 1.2 ± 0.1 mm.a) Estimate v, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Of the uncertainties in w, a, and b, only one has a non-negligible effect on the uncertainty in v. Which one is it?
A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π:
Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut
Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π.
Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations:
(1) Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6
(3.58) (8.80) (-1.05)
(2) Bt = 0.44 + 0.94Rt R22 = 0.960, SSR2 = 2.22, QRESET(F1,53) = 0.9
(9.70) (16.7)
(3) Bt = 0.44 + 1.14NIt SSR3 = 9.20, QRESET(F1,53) = 59.9
(8.84) (36.1)
(4) NIt = 0.08 + 0.94Πt R24 = 0.997, SSR4 = 0.18, QRESET(F1,53) = 1.4…

Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219. For a helically threaded nail under the same conditions, the strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.47 and σ = 0.272. a) What is the mean withdrawal strength for annularly threaded nails? b) What is the mean withdrawal strength for helically threaded nails? c) For which type of nail is it more probable that the withdrawal strength will be greater than 50 N/mm? d) What is the probability that a helically threaded nail will have a greater withdrawal strength than the median for annularly threaded nails? e) An experiment is performed in which withdrawal…arrow_forwardCompute the sum-of-squares error (SSE) by hand for the given set of data and linear model.

In the first experiment, the concentration of solids (in g/L) was 43.94 ± 1.18. In the second experiment, which was independent of the first, the concentration was 48.66 ± 1.76. Estimate the difference in the concentration between the two experiments, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.arrow_forward
- In the article “Influence of Crack Width on Shear Behaviour of SIFCON” (C. Fritz and H. Reinhardt, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites: Proceedings of the International RILEM/ACI Workshop, 1992), the maximum shear stress τ of a cracked concrete member is given to be τ = τ0(1 − kw), where τ0 is the maximum shear stress for a crack width of zero, w is the crack width in mm, and k is a constant estimated from experimental data. Assume k = 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1. Given that τ0 = 50 MPa and w = 1.0 mm, both with negligible uncertainty, estimate τ and find the uncertainty in the estimate.arrow_forwardA study is made for a particular allergy medication in order to determine the length of relief it provides Y (in hours) in relation to the dosage of medication X (in mg).
