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.

First you need to convert grams into kilograms. You know that 1kg=1000g
if 1kg=................. 1000g
   x kg=.................5000g

x=5000/1000 = 5kg
Now you need to find the difference between an average-sized pumpkin and the <span>world's largest pumpkin which is:
784-5=779

So the right answer is 779.</span>

Jay wants to buy 4 shirts which were originally priced at $15.95 each. He purchased the 4 shirts at a 20% off sale and pays a 6.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

I think its $32.50

Step-by-step explanation:

15.95 * 4 = 63.8

63.8 / 1/5 = 12.76

20% = 1/5

319 + 6 1/2 = 32.50

Find a power series representation for the function. (Assume a&gt;0. Give your power series representation centered at x=0 .)
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f_x = \dfrac{x^2}{a^7-x^7}

= \dfrac{x^2}{a^7(1-\dfrac{x^7}{a^7})}

= \dfrac{x^2}{a^7}\Big(1-\dfrac{x^7}{a^7} \Big)^{-1}

since  \Big((1-x)^{-1}= 1+x+x^2+x^3+...=\sum \limits ^{\infty}_{n=0}x^n\Big)

Then, it implies that:

\implies  \dfrac{x^2}{a^7} \sum \limits ^{\infty}_{n=0} \Big(\Big(\dfrac{x}{a} \Big)^{^7} \Big)^n

= \dfrac{x^2}{a^7} \sum \limits ^{\infty}_{n=0} \Big(\dfrac{x}{a} \Big)^{^{7n}}

= \dfrac{x^2}{a^7} \sum \limits ^{\infty}_{n=0} \Big(\dfrac{x^{7n}}{a^{7n}} \Big)}

\mathbf{=  \sum \limits ^{\infty}_{n=0} \dfrac{x^{7n+2}}{a^{7n+7}} }}
