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.]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval:  (1196,1973)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 20

Mean, μ = 1584

Standard Deviation, σ = 607

99% Confidence interval:  

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 19 and}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.86  

1584 \pm 2.86(\dfrac{607}{\sqrt{20}} )\\\\ = 1584 \pm 388.18\\ = (1195.82 ,1972.18)\\ \approx (1196,1973)

Thus, there is a 99% chance that it will break in approximately 1196 to 1972

Their is a rectangle that has measurements in inches. If the width is 7/8 of an inch and the height is 2/3 of an inch, what is t
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Area of a rectangle = 7/12 of an inch

Step-by-step explanation

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

In this case, the length is represented by height

Height = 2/3 of an inch

Width = 7/8 of an inch

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

= 2/3 × 7/8

= (2 * 7) / (3 * 8)

= 14 / 24

= 7 / 12

Area of a rectangle = 7/12 of an inch

180° &lt; x &lt; 270°, what is the value of tan-1(0.577)?
Allisa [31]
Think:  "Find <span>tan-1(0.577)" means "Find the ANGLE in Quadrant III whose tangent is 0.577.  Because the angle is in QIII, both the opp side and the adj side are negative.  Here you have four answer choices.  The correct answer MUST be within the interval 180 and 270 degrees.  Only one of the given answer choices satisfies that criterion.  Which one is it?
