3.8 The resistance (or capacity) R of a member is to be modeled using R= R„MPF where R, is the nominal value of the capacity determined using code procedures and M, P, and Fare random variables that account for various uncertainties in the capacity. If M, P, and F are all lognormal random variables, determine the mean and variance of Rin terms of the means and variances of M, P, and F.

tion 21. An investor is considering two types of investment. She is quite satisfied that the expected return on investment 1 is higher than the expected return on investment 2. However, she is quite concerned that the risk associated with investment 1 is higher than that of investment 2. To help make her decision, she randomly selects seven monthly returns on investment 1 and ten monthly returns on investment 2. She finds that the sample variances of investments 1 and 2 are 225 and 118, respectively. a) Can she infer at the 5% significance level that the population variance of investment 1 exceeds that of investment 2? b) Estimate with 95% confidence the ratio of the two population variances. c) Briefly describe what the interval estimate tells you.
, A manufacturer of sunflower oil uses machines to distribute liquid ingredients into bottles that move along a filling line. The machine that distributes is working properly when 8 ounces are distributed. Suppose that the average amount distributed in a particular sample of 35 bottles is 7.91 ounces. Assume that the variance of the process is known to be 0.03 ounces squared. Is there evidence that the machine should be stopped (when not 8 ounces are distributed), and production wait for repairs? The lost production from a shutdown is potentially so great that management feels that the level of confidence in the analysis should be 99%.
A study was conducted by a group of neurosurgeons. They compared a dynamic system (Z-plate) and a static system (ALPS plate) in terms of the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital spent by the patients. The descriptive statistics for these data are as follows: for 14 patients with dynamic system, the sample mean number of acute postoperative days was 7.36 with standard deviation of 1.22; for 6 patients with static system the sample mean number of acute postoperative days was 10.5 with sample standard deviation of 4.59. Assume that the numbers of acute postoperative days in both populations are normally distributed. We wish to estimate µ1 − µ2 with a 99 percent confidence interval. Can you assume unknown population variance are equal. a. Degrees of freedom and t-value are b. Margin of error and confidence interval are c. Based on your interval in part (b), we can state with 99 percent confidence that the average numbers of acute postoperative days in two populations i.…

The aim of a study is to test the ratio of variances in the weight of two groups of rats being under a certain drugs A ( group 1) and B ( group 2). A random sample of 17 rats was selected from group 1and 11 rats from group 2, Then their weight were recorded.

A manufacturing company is interested in buying one of two different kinds of machines for production purposes. The first machine was run for 20 hours. It produces on average of 40 items per hour with variance of 8 items2. The second machine was run for 15 hours. It produces on average 50 items per hour with variance of 10 items2. Assume that the production per hour for each machine is (approximately) normally distributed and there a homogeneity between the populations' variances of the number of items produced by the 2 machines Compute 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two means.

A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n = 11 in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug ance a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). The dependent variables is the amount of food eaten by each rat aver a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary Lable. Fill in all missing values in the Lable. (Hint: Start with the df column.) s.S. d.f. M.S.

Q4 For the tornado events in a certain region, the tornado-induced wind speed can be modeled by a lognormal random variable with a mean value of ux = 120 mph and a standard deviation of ox = 12 mph. a) Calculate the probability that the wind speed will be between 100 mph and 130 mph in a tornado event. b) If a structure located in this region is designed to resist for wind speed of 150 mph, what is the probability that the structure will be damaged during such a tornado?
