It is found that, when exposed continuously to some fixed level of a weathering agent, a sample of 8 panels of paint coating man

Required:
a. Assuming the failure time is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean failure time under the same conditions.
b. Interpret the interval constructed in part (a)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is

X: time it takes a paint coating to reach 50% gloss loss (failure).

n= 8

X[bar]= 14.10hs

S= 1.67hs

Assuming X≈N(μ;σ²)

a) You have to estimate the average failure time using a 95% confidence interval. For this, considering that the sample size is small, and the population variance is unknown, you have to use the t-statistic:

[X[bar]±t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}*\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }]

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{7;0.975}= 2.365

[14.10±2.365*\frac{1.67}{\sqrt{8} }*]

[12.70; 15.49]

b) Interpretation:

Using a 95% confidence level you'd expect that the interval [12.70; 15.49]hours contains the true mean failure time for the paint coating.

c)

Using the estimates of the mean and standard deviation based on the sample of 8 panes as the true mean and standard deviation of failure time of a panel (assumed to be <u>normally distributed</u>), find the cut-off failure time that separates, among all the panels, the bottom 10% from the rest, i.e. the 10th percentile.

μ= 14.10

σ= 1.67

You have to find a value of the variable X that has below it 10% of the distribution, symbolically:

P(X ≤ x₀)= 0.10

To do so, you have to work using the tabulated standard normal distribution (Z) and then, using the population values μ and δ, "transform" the value of Z to a value of X. (i.e. you have to reverse the standardization to reach the corresponding value of X)

Using the Z-distribution Z= (X-μ)/σ

P(Z ≤ z₀)= 0.10

Using the left entry of the table, since we are working in the left tail of the distribution.

z₀= -1.282

Now using the formula you have to calculate the value of X

z₀= (x₀-μ)/σ

z₀*σ= x₀-μ

(z₀*σ)+μ= x₀

x₀= (z₀*σ)+μ= (-1.282*1.67) + 14.10= 11.95906 ≅ 11.96hours

The value that separates the bottom 10% of the panels from the rest is 11.96 hours.

I hope it helps!

The length of a regulation soccer field is 110 meters. The diagonal length of the same soccer field is about 133.14 meters. Abou
dexar [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine this as a right angle triangle, where the diagonal length is the hypotenuse, the length is one side, and the width is the other.

We can therefore use Pythagoras' Theorem (or Pythagorean Theorem) to solve. The formula for this is a²+b²=c², where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the sides.

We can input the values we know to this formula to get the width. This gives 110²+b²=133.14² or 12100+b²=17 726.2596.

From there subtracting 12100 from both sides gives b²=5626.2596.

Square rooting b isolates it, leaving b=75.0083969.

Since the value of the diagonal was approximate, this can be assumed the b is 75m.

**This content involves Pythagoras' Theorem/Pythagorean Theorem, which you may wish to revise. I'm always happy to help!

What does measuring the spread of a data set tell us, and why is that significant?
Ann [662]

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of spread is used in describing the variability in a sample.

Examples of measure of spread are: Mean, Median and Mode.

A measure of spread helps in giving an idea of how well the mean, or mode, or median, whichever of the three measure of spreads we use, represents the data under consideration. If the spread of values in the data set is large, that means there a lot of variation between the values of the data set. It is always better to have a small spread.
