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.

Common household electric current is called alternating current because the current alternates direction within the wires. The v
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

n = 18 cycles

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many times does the current oscillates in the given time, you take into account that the number of oscillation can be calculated by using the following expression:

n=ft         (1)

f: frequency of the oscillation of the current

t: time = 0.30s

The frequency is the number of cycles per second, that is, f = 60 cycles/s

You replace the values of f and t in the equation (1):

n=(60\frac{cycles}{s})(0.30s)=18\ cycles

In 0.30s the current oscillates 18 times

Elena L [17]

Answer:

502.4 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the larger circle, and then that of the smaller one.

Then subtract the latter (2nd) area from the first.

larger circle area           smaller circle area

-------------------------           ---------------------------

 3.14(14 mm)^2                   3.14(6 mm)^ 2

This comes out to 3.14[14^2 - 6^2] mm^ 2 =  3.14[196 - 36] mm^2, or

3.14(160 mm^2) = 502.4 mm^2

The area of the metal washer is 502.4 mm^2.
