An experiment to investigate the survival time in hours of an electronic component consists of placing the parts in a test cell

and running them under elevated temperature conditions. Six samples were tested with the following resulting failure times (in hours): 34, 40, 46, 49, 61, 64. (a)Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the failure time. (b)Determine the range of the true mean at 90% confidence level. (c)If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (90% confidence level) of its failure time

Answer:

a) The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b) The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

c) The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Sample mean:

\overline{x} = \frac{34+40+46+49+61+64}{6} = 49

Sample standard deviation:

s = sqrt{\frac{(34-49)^2+(40-49)^2+(46-49)^2+(49-49)^2+(61-49)^2+(64-49)^2}{5}} = 11.7

The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b)Determine the range of the true mean at 90% confidence level.

We have to find the margin of error of the confidence interval. Since we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 2.0.150

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. So

M = 2.0150\frac{11.7}{\sqrt{6}} = 9.62

The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

(c)If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (90% confidence level) of its failure time.

This is the confidence interval, so:

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 49 - 9.62 = 39.38 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 49 + 9.62 = 58.62 hours.

The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.

4/5w-12=2/3w<br> what is the step by step answer to those equation?
Mariulka [41]
Kulay, there is no such thing as a "step by step answer" here.  You seem to want a "step by step solution."

I must assume that by 4/5 you actually meant (4/5) and that by 2/3 you meant (2/3).  Then your equation becomes:

(4/5)w - 12 = (2/3)w. 

The LCD here is 5*3, or 15, so mult. every term by 15:

12w - 180 = 10w.   
Add 180 to both sides, obtaining 12 w - 180 + 180 = 10w + 180.     

Then 12w = 10w + 180.  Simplifying, 2w = 180.    What is w?
