According to the article "Fatigue Testing of Condoms" (Polymer Testing, 2009: 567–571), "tests currently used for condoms are su
rrogates for the challenges they face in use," including a test for holes, an inflation test, a package seal test, and tests of dimensions and lubricant quality (all fertile territory for the use of statistical methodology!). The investigators developed a new test that adds cyclic strain to a level well below breakage and determines the number of cycles to break. A sample of 20 condoms of one particular type resulted in a sample mean number of 1584 and a sample standard deviation of 607.
1. Calculate and interpret a confidence interval at the 99% confidence level for the true average number of cycles to break. [Note: The article presented the results of hypothesis tests based on the t distribution; the validity of these depends on assuming normal population distributions.]
The correct answer is 0.73737373 or answer C. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction for any integers and. . Irrational numbers have decimal expansions that neither terminate nor become periodic
The equation below can be used to find the length of a foot or forearm when you know one or the other. (length of the foot) = 0.860 • (length of the forearm) + 3.302 If you let y = length of the foot and x = length of the forearm, this equation can be simplified to y = 0.860x + 3.302.
