An interior automotive supplier places several electrical wires in a harness.Apull test measures the force required to pull spli

ced wires apart. A customer requires that each wire that is spliced into the harness withstand a pull force of 20 pounds. Let X equal the pull force required to pull a spliced wire apart. The following data give the values of a random sample of n 20 observations of X 28.8 24.4 30.1 25.6 26.4 23.9 22.1 22.5 27.6 28.1 20.8 27.7 24.4 25.1 24.6 26.3 28.2 22.2 26.3 24.4 (a) Construct a q-q plot, using the ordered array and the corresponding quantiles of N(O, 1) (b) Does X appear to have a normal distribution?

Answer:

a) For this case we can use the following R code to construct the qq plot

> data<-c(28.8, 24.4, 30.1, 25.6, 26.4, 23.9, 22.1, 22.5, 27.6, 28.1, 20.8, 27.7, 24.4, 25.1, 24.6, 26.3, 28.2, 22.2, 26.3, 24.4)

# The above line is in order to store the data in a vector

> qqnorm(data, pch = 1, frame = FALSE)

# The line above is in order to calculate the quantiles from the data assumin Normal distribution

> qqline(data, col = "steelblue", lwd = 2)

# The line above is in order to put a line for the theoretical dsitribution

The result is on the figure attached.

b) For this case as we can see on the figure attached the calculated quantiles are not far from the theorical quantiles given byt the straaigth blue line so then we can conclude that the distribution seems to be normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

28.8, 24.4, 30.1, 25.6, 26.4, 23.9, 22.1, 22.5, 27.6, 28.1, 20.8, 27.7, 24.4, 25.1, 24.6, 26.3, 28.2, 22.2, 26.3, 24.4

The quantile-quantile or q-q plot is a graphical procedure in order to check the validity of a distributional assumption for a data set. We just need to calculate "the theoretically expected value for each data point based on the distribution in question".

If the values are asusted to the assumed distribution, we will see that "the points on the q-q plot will fall approximately on a straight line"

For this case our distribution assumed is normal.

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code to construct the qq plot

> data<-c(28.8, 24.4, 30.1, 25.6, 26.4, 23.9, 22.1, 22.5, 27.6, 28.1, 20.8, 27.7, 24.4, 25.1, 24.6, 26.3, 28.2, 22.2, 26.3, 24.4)

# The above line is in order to store the data in a vector

> qqnorm(data, pch = 1, frame = FALSE)

# The line above is in order to calculate the quantiles from the data assuming Normal distribution (0,1)

> qqline(data, col = "steelblue", lwd = 2)

# The line above is in order to put a line for the theoretical distribution

The result is on the figure attached.

Part b

For this case as we can see on the figure attached the calculated quantiles are not far from the theorical quantiles given byt the straaigth blue line so then we can conclude that the distribution seems to be normal.

Please help show that the following are TRUE.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series with first term a1 and common ratio r (where |r| < 1) is ...

  sum = a1/(1 -r)

Applying this to the given series, we get ...

a. sum = 5/(1 -3/4) = 5/(1/4) = 20

b. sum = d/(1 -1/t) = d/((t-1)/t) = dt/(t-1)

_____

The derivation of the above formula is in most texts on sequences and series. In general, you write an expression for the difference of the sum (S) and the product r·S. You find all terms of the series cancel except the first and last, and the last goes to zero in the limit, because r^∞ → 0 for |r| < 1. Hence you get ...

  S -rS = a1

  S = a1/(1 -r)

How do you find a rate of change
ddd [48]
Consider the line y = 2x + 1, shown at the right. Notice that this slope will be the same if the points (1,3) and (2, 5) are used for the calculations. For straight lines, the rate of change<span> (slope) is constant (always the same). For every one unit that is moved on the x-axis, two units are moved on the y-axis.hope this helped. </span>

Express the function graphed on the axes below as a piecewise function.
adoni [48]

Answer:

  f(x) = {x-3 for x ≤ -1; -3x+14 for x > 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the piecewise function, we can consider the pieces one at a time. For each, we need to define the domain, and the functional relation.

__

<h3>Left Piece</h3>

The domain is the horizontal extent. It is shown as -∞ to -1, with -1 included.

The relation has a slope (rise/run) of +1, and would intersect the y-axis at -3 if it were extended.

The first piece can be written ...

  f(x) = x-3 for x ≤ -1

__

<h3>Right Piece</h3>

The domain is shown as 5 to ∞, with 5<em> not included</em>.

The relation is shown as having a slope (rise/run) of (-3)/(1) = -3. If extended, it would intersect the point (5, -1), so we can write the point-slope equation as ...

  y -(-1) = -3(x -5)

  y = -3x +15 -1 = -3x +14

The second piece can be written ...

  f(x) = -3x +14 for x > 5

__

<h3>Whole function</h3>

Putting these pieces together, we have ...

  \boxed{f(x)=\begin{cases}x-3&\text{for }x\le-1\\-3x+14&\text{for }5 < x\end{cases}}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes it is convenient to write inequalities in number-line order (using < or ≤ symbols). This gives a visual indication of where the variable stands in relation to the limit(s). Perhaps a more conventional way to write the domain for the second piece is, <em>x > 5</em>.
