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.

Becky and tommy are asked to solve -4x-25=8x+15 identity where one of them made an error
ololo11 [35]
I feel sorry for Becky and Tommy. The one who didn't come up with x=-10/3 made an error.

first bring 8x to the left and -25 to the right and simplify:

-4x-8x = 25+15 => -12x = 40

x = -40/12 = -10/3

Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away. After 4 hours, Liza is 2 3 of the way there.
DochEvi [55]

Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away. After 4 hours, Liza is 2/3 of the way there.   How many more hours  does Liza have to drive?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Liza need to drive 2 more hours to reach her sister house

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Liza is driving to her sister's house 360 miles away

So total distance = 360 miles

After 4 hours, Liza is 2/3 of the way there.

\frac{2}{3} r d \text { of total distance }=\frac{2}{3} \times 360=240

So Liza has covered 240 miles in 4 hours

Let us find the speed

<em><u>The relation between distance and speed is given as:</u></em>

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed = \frac{240}{4} = 60

Thus speed = 60 miles per hour

Assuming speed is same throughout the journey, let us calculate the time taken to complete remaining distance

Remaining distance = 360 - 240 = 120 miles

Now distance = 120 miles and speed = 60 miles per hour

time taken = \frac{distance}{speed}\\\\time taken = \frac{120}{60} = 2

Thus Liza need to drive 2 more hours to reach her sister house
