The tensile strength of stainless steel produced by a plant has been stable for a long time with a mean of 72 kg/mm2 and a stand

ard deviation of 2.15. A machine was recently adjusted and a sample of 50 items were taken to determine if the mean tensile strength has changed. The mean of this sample is 74.28. Assume that the standard deviation did not change because of the adjustment to the machine. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted. Does this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted is [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2].

Yes, this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the tensile strength of stainless steel produced by a plant has been stable for a long time with a mean of 72 kg/mm 2 and a standard deviation of 2.15.

A machine was recently adjusted and a sample of 50 items were taken to determine if the mean tensile strength has changed. The mean of this sample is 74.28. Assume that the standard deviation did not change because of the adjustment to the machine.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                         P.Q. = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean strength of 50 items = 74.28

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 2.15

            n = sample of items = 50

            \mu = population mean tensile strength after machine was adjusted

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

                                                  significance are -1.96 & 1.96}  

P(-1.96 < \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X-\mu} < 1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u><em>95% confidence interval for</em></u> \mu = [ \bar X-1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+1.96 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                 = [ 74.28-1.96 \times {\frac{2.15}{\sqrt{50} } } , 74.28+1.96 \times {\frac{2.15}{\sqrt{50} } } ]

                 = [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the mean of tensile strength after the machine was adjusted is [73.68 kg/mm2 , 74.88 kg/mm2].

<em>Yes, this data suggest that the tensile strength was changed after the adjustment as earlier the mean tensile strength was 72 kg/mm2 and now the mean strength lies between 73.68 kg/mm2 and 74.88 kg/mm2 after adjustment.</em>

13. Jessica has taken 8 quizzes. The mean of her scores is 92. Her first 6 scores are shown.
Dovator [93]

Answer: Median= 91; 8th quiz score=86

Step-by-step explanation: The sum of the scores is 8×92=736. Subtract the 6 given scores and then a 100 for the seventh quiz to find the score she got on the 8th quiz, this is an 86. Now that you have all the scores, arrange them all in the least to greatest order and find the average of the middle two numbers (median), which is 91!

An open-top rectangular box with square base is to be made from 100 square feet of material, as shown.
-Dominant- [34]

The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

Find the slope of the line.
cricket20 [7]
Your slope would be -1/4x. If you look at the y-intercept on your graph, which is -2, you would start to count up one box and over 4 boxes to the left. We call this rise/run. So knowing what the slope is now, your entire equation would be            y= -1/4x - 2. (Also, if the line is going up towards the left it is a negative slope, if it's to the right it is positive.) I hope this helps love! :)
