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.

Find the slope please
Katarina [22]

Answer:

slope is -\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

1,-1  -3,2 are two points on the graph

the equation to find slope is \frac{y_{1}- y_{2} }{x_{1}- x_{2} }

so \frac{2--1}{-3-1} = -\frac{3}{4}

or you can count how many places it changed in the equation \frac{rise}{run}

On monday ,jan made wgitmddrawls of $25,$45 and $75 from her savings account .On the sane day, het twin sister lola made withdra
Dafna11 [192]
Part (a):
We will assume that the total amount is Jan's saving account is "m"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -25$ - 45$ - 75$
Amount of money remaining in her account = m - 145$
The amount of money Jan withdrew = 25$ + 45$ + 75$ = 145$

Part (b):
We will assume that the total amount is Lola's saving account is "n"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -35$ - 55$ - 65$
Amount of money remaining in her account = n - 155$
The amount of money Lola withdrew = 35$ + 55$ + 65$ = 155$

A guy wire 30 ft long supports an antenna at a point that is 24 ft above the base of the antenna.
GalinKa [24]
Use Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
152 = a2 + 12
a2 = 152 - 122
=225 - 144 = 81
a = 9 ft
Distance from base of antenna = 9ft

Nate spent $28 on 2 dvds.at this rate how much would 5 dvds cost him
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
2=28 divide both get 14 . So each cd is 14$. So now 28+28=56 (4 cd's) plus 14 (1 more cd) =5 so 5 is 70.
