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!

a rectangle is 28 feet by 41 feet. If it can be determined, which of the following gives the whole number length, in feet, of a
rjkz [21]

Answer:

c = 20 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest square will be 14 sqrt(2) ft long


To figure out the side length of the square

use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

we are limited by the shortest side of the rectangle

28 ft

each side of the triangle is 1/2 the length of the short side of the rectangle or 14 ft

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

14^2 + 14^2 = c^2  where c is the side of the square

196 + 196 = c^2

392 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(392) = sqrt(c^2)

c = 14sqrt(2)

c = 19.799ft

to the nearest whole number

c = 20 ft

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, VW = 32 feet, and WU = 78 feet. Find the measure of ∠V to the nearest degree.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 67.68^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\angle W=90^{\circ}

VW=32\ ft

WU=78\ ft

from the figure, we can write

\Rightarrow \tan v=\dfrac{UW}{VW}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan v=\dfrac{78}{32}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan v=2.437\\\Rightarrow v=\tan^-1(2.437)\\\Rightarrow v=67.68^{\circ}
