A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed

of the film and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is: Mean Standard deviation 1.15 0.11 For the 20-mil film the data yield: Mean Standard deviation 1.06 0.09 *Note: An increase in film speed would lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch. We may also assume the speeds of the film follow a normal distribution. Use this information to construct a 98% interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films. Does decreasing the thickness of the film increase the speed of the film?

Answer:

A 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured.

For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is: Mean Standard deviation 1.15 0.11 and For the 20-mil film the data yield: Mean Standard deviation 1.06 0.09.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the difference in population mean is given by;

                     P.Q.  =  \frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }  ~  t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2

where, \bar X_1 = sample mean speed for the 25-mil film = 1.15

\bar X_1 = sample mean speed for the 20-mil film = 1.06

s_1 = sample standard deviation for the 25-mil film = 0.11

s_2 = sample standard deviation for the 20-mil film = 0.09

n_1 = sample of 25-mil film = 8

n_2 = sample of 20-mil film = 8

\mu_1 = population mean speed for the 25-mil film

\mu_2 = population mean speed for the 20-mil film

Also,  s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+ (n_2-1)s_2^{2}}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{(8-1)\times 0.11^{2}+ (8-1)\times 0.09^{2}}{8+8-2} } = 0.1005

<em>Here for constructing a 98% confidence interval we have used a Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations.</em>

<u>So, 98% confidence interval for the difference in population means, (</u>\mu_1-\mu_2<u>) is;</u>

P(-2.624 < t_1_4 < 2.624) = 0.98  {As the critical value of t at 14 degrees of

                                             freedom are -2.624 & 2.624 with P = 1%}  

P(-2.624 < \frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } < 2.624) = 0.98

P( -2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } < 2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } <  ) = 0.98

P( (\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } < (\mu_1-\mu_2) < (\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } ) = 0.98

<u>98% confidence interval for</u> (\mu_1-\mu_2) = [ (\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } , (\bar X_1-\bar X_2)+2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } } ]

= [ (1.15-1.06)-2.624 \times {0.1005 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} } } , (1.15-1.06)+2.624 \times {0.1005 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8} } } ]

 = [-0.042, 0.222]

Therefore, a 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Since the above interval contains 0; this means that decreasing the thickness of the film doesn't increase the speed of the film.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it already give you the y-intercept and you can solve x by doing 4 to 7 have to add 3 and x only have to add 1. It will give you a slope 3/1, so it is 3.

y=3x+1

The triplets, nick, Brian, and dan, exit their preschool classroom every day in a random order. Create an organized list to show
AfilCa [17]

The set of all possibilities is called sample space and is denoted by S.

So, S = {NBD, NDB, BDN, BND, DBN, DNB} and n(S) = 8

and we need to find the probability of NBD

E = {NBD} and n(E) = 1

The probability of an even is defined by p(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}

Hence,  p(E) = \frac{1}{8}

There is only one number that is equal to the absolute value of  15.
That number is  15.

But wait !

There are two different numbers WHOSE ABSOLUTE VALUES
are both  15.

Those numbers are  15  and  -15 .

In ∆ABC, m∠B=α. Find the measure of the angle, in degrees, between the altitudes dropped from the vertices A and C
Sergio [31]

The expression to find the value of the final angle of the triangle will be 180° - 40° - α.

<h3>How to solve the triangle?</h3>

Your information is incomplete as the triangle isn't attached. Therefore, an overview will be given.

Firstly, it's important to know that the total angle in a triangle is 180°. A triangle has three sides. In this case, angle B is given as α.

Let's assume that another angle is given as 40°. Therefore, the expression to find the value of the final angle will be 180° - 40° - α
