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.

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

What is the area of the figure ?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

70 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of square is 5×10=50 plus the square of triangle, high of triangle is 18-10=8 and base of triangle is 5 because it common base with square, so the square of triangle is 1/2(8)(5)=20

The total area is 50+20=70 cm^2
