The alternating current (AC) breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid indicates its dielectric strength. The article "Testing P

ractices for the AC Breakdown Voltage Testing of Insulation Liquids" gave the accompanying sample observations on breakdown voltage (kV) of a particular circuit under certain conditions.

a) Construct a boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.
b) Calculate and interpret a 95% Confidence Interval for true average breakdown voltage μ. Does it appeas that μ has been precisely estimated? Explain.
c) Suppose the investigator believes that virtually all values of breakdown voltage are between 40 and 70. What sample size would be appropriate for the 95% Confidence Interval to have a width of 2kV (so that μ is estimated to within 1 kV with 95% confidence?)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variable

X: breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid under certain conditions.

a)

Graphic in attachment.

Box: The median is closer to the third quartile than the first quartile showing skewness to the left.

The black dot in the middle of the box represents the sample mean (X[bar]) as you can see it is also moved to the right side of the distribution, affected by the presence of an outlier.

Whiskers:

The upper whisker is smaller than the lower one and there is a value that can be considered an outlier.

Altogether you can say that the distribution of the data set is skewed to the left.

b)

To estimate the population mean you need the population to be at least normal. The box plot shows that the distribution is not symmetrical but, considering that the sample size is n= 48 you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sampling distribution to normal.

X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²)

As the distribution is approximate, using the sample standard deviation (since we don't know the population value) for the distribution standard deviation is also valid ⇒ Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

X[bar] ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

∑X= 2626 ∑X²= 144950 n= 48

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 2626/48= 54.71

S²= 1/n[∑X²- (∑X)²/n]= 1/47[144950-(2626)²/48]= 27.36

S= 5.23

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.96

54.71 ± 1.96 * \frac{5.23}{\sqrt{48} }

[53.22; 56.18]kV

c)

95% CI

amplitude a=2 kV  i.e. semi amplitude d= 1 kV

The semi amplitude or margin of error for the CI can be calculated as:

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

From this formula you can clear the sample size

\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}} = \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

(\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}} )*\sqrt{n} = S

\sqrt{n} = S* (\frac{Z_{1-\alpha /2}}{d} )

n = (S* (\frac{Z_{1-\alpha /2}}{d} ))^2

n= (5.23*(\frac{1.96}{1} ))^2= 105.08= 106

I have a flower vase with a 6 " diameter and is 12 " tall I want to fill it 2/3 of the way full how many cubic inches will I fil
RSB [31]

Answer:

72\pi\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

<em>Calculate the volume of the cylinder (flower vase)</em>

The volume is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=6/2=3\ in -----> the radius is half the diameter

h=12\ in

substitute the values

V=\pi (3)^{2}(12)=108\pi\ in^{3} ------> exact value

step 2

Calculate  2/3 of the volume

V=(2/3)108\pi=72\pi\ in^{3}

PLEASE HELP!!!!! How many 4-digit numbers divisible by 5, all of the digits of which are even, are there?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

I assume you know Arithmetic Progression .

so, we have to find the first and last 4-digit number divisible by 5

first = 1000 ,  last =  9990

we have a formula,   a_{n} = a + (n-1)d

here, a_{n} is the last 4-digit number divisible by 5.

n is the number of 4-digit even numbers divisible by 5

d is the common difference between the numbers, which is 10 in this case

a is the first 4-digit number divisible by 5

9990 = 1000 + (n-1)*10

899 = n-1

n = 900

Hence, there are 900 4-digit even numbers divisible by 5

Part A: A circle is the set of all points that are the same distance from one given point. Find an example that contradicts this
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

  • a sphere
  • the definition needs to restrict all of the points to a plane

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, a sphere is the set of all points the same distance from a given point. The given definition of a circle only applies when the given point and the solution set are in the same plane, and the geometry is Euclidean.

Is A ABC similar to DEF? Why or why not?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Option(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the two triangles, that are ABC and DEF, in which AB=8ft, DE=6ft, AC=10ft and DF=7.5ft.

For the two triangles to be similar, it must satisfy the similarity condition that is:

Both the triangles must have congruent angles and the sides should be proportional. Since, two sides of the given triangles are not proportional.Moreover, ∠A=25° and ∠D=24° which are not equal and ∠C=60° and ∠F=61° which are also not equal.

Therefore, Not all the angles are congruent, thus the triangles cannot be similar.
