A company employs two shifts of workers. Each shift produces a type of gasket where the thickness is the critical dimension. The

average thickness and the standard deviation of thickness for shift 1, based on a random sample of 40 gaskets, are 10.85 mm and 0.16 mm, respectively. The similar figures for shift 2, based on a random sample of 30 gaskets, are 10.90 mm and 0.19 mm. Let µ1-µ2 be the difference in thickness between shifts 1 and 2, and assume that the population variances are equal.
(a) Find a 95% confidence interval for µ1-µ2.
(b) Based on your answer to part a, are you convinced that the gaskets from
shift 2 are, on average, wider than those from shift 1? Why or why not?
(c) How would your answers to parts a and b change if the sample sizes
were instead 300 and 250?

Answer:

a) [-0.134,0.034]

b) We are uncertain

c) It will change significantly

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since the variances are unknown, we use the t-test with 95% confidence interval, that is the significance level = 1-0.05 = 0.025.

Since we assume that the variances are equal, we use the pooled variance given as

s_p^2 = \frac{ (n_1 -1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2},

where n_1 = 40, n_2 = 30, s_1 = 0.16, s_2 = 0.19.

The mean difference \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 10.85 - 10.90 = -0.05.

The confidence interval is

(\mu_1 - \mu_2) \pm t_{n_1+n_2-2,\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2}} = (-0.05) \pm t_{68,0.025} \sqrt{\frac{0.03}{40} + \frac{0.03}{30}}

= -0.05\pm 1.995 \times 0.042 = -0.05 \pm 0.084 = [-0.134,0.034]

b) With 95% confidence, we can say that it is possible that the gaskets from shift 2 are, on average, wider than the gaskets from shift 1, because the mean difference extends to the negative interval or that the gaskets from shift 1 are wider, because the confidence interval extends to the positive interval.

c) Increasing the sample sizes results in a smaller margin of error, which gives us a narrower confidence interval, thus giving us a good idea of what the true mean difference is.

What’s the answer to 14?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

  • |t -(-5)| = 1.5
  • [-6.5, -3.5] = [minimum, maximum]

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the difference between the temperature (t) and -5 will be 1.5 at the limits:

  |t -(-5)| = 1.5

This is equivalent to two equations:

  • t +5 = -1.5
  • t +5 = 1.5

In each case, the equation is solved by subtracting 5 from both sides:

  • t = -6.5 . . . . minimum allowed temperature
  • t = -3.5 . . . . maximum allowed temperature

14x+10y=72 14x+4y=96 Solve the following system of equations using any method
Anarel [89]
    14x + 10y = 72
    14x +   4y = 96
                6y = -24
                 6       6
                  y = -4
    14x + 10y = 72
14x + 10(-4) = 72
       14x - 40 = 72
             + 40 + 40
              14x = 112
               14      14
                  x = 8
            (x, y) = (8, -4)
