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.

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

c) l x - 5 l - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

when you're graphing functions whatever is inside the paranthesis, square root or absolute value determines whether you go left or right, if its a negative you go to the right, if its positive you go to the left. So the opposite of what you would expect it to go

in this instance its - 5, so you go 5 units to the right

and the number outside determines if you go up or down, in this question its - 4 so you go down 4 units

Which is a solution to the equation y=2x-5?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

C. (1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the x to get the y in the equation. The point must fit the formula.

Plug in C. (1, -3), in which x = 1, y = -3:

(-3) = 2(1) - 5

Simplify:

(-3) = 2(1) - 5

-3 = 2 - 5

-3 = -3 (True).

C is your answer.

djyliett [7]
On a cos(x) graph, the minimum y-value is always -1. Since you are adding 5 to -1, the minimum values is 4.
