4. (Chapter 6.1) Specifications call for the mean tensile strength u of paper used in a certain packaging application to be greater than 50 psi. A new type of paper is being considered for this application. The tensile strength is measured for a sample of 110 specimens of this paper. The mean strength was 51.2 psi and the standard deviation was 4.0 psi. Can you conclude that the mean strength is greater than 50 psi? а. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b. What is the p-value? c. Does the p-value suggest that the mean strength is greater than 50 psi? Why or why not?

An article shows data to compare several methods for predicting the shear strength for steel plate girders. Data for two of these methods, the Karlsruhe and Lehigh procedures, when applied nine times to a girder, are shown in the following table. We wish to determine whether there is any difference between the two methods. Assume the same standard deviations. (Note that we will perform unpaired comparison. We do not perform a paired test.)

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.

Has the number of shoppers who wear masks changed from 2020 to 2021? There are arguments for and against this question. The mean number of masks, u, used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2020 will be compared to the mean number of masks, Hy used by a shopper in Metropolis in 2021. The true values of u, and u, are unknown. It is recognized that the true standard deviations are o, = 19 for the 2020 measurements and o, = 24 for the 2021 measurements. We take a random sample of m = 255 shoppers in 2020 and a random sample of n = 200 shoppers in 2021. The mean number of masks were x= 97 for 2020 and y= 85 for 2021. Assuming independence between the years and assuming masks used by shoppers are normally distributed we would like to estimate x - Hy. What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x? What is the standard deviation of the distribution of x - y? Create a 95% confidence interval for uy - Hy ? ) What is the length of the confidence interval in part c) ? If we let n stay at 200…

The distribution of unrestrained compressive strength may be somewhat skewed. Does the data strong- ly indicate that the true average unrestrained compres- sive strength is less than the design value of 3200? Test using a = .001.

Suppose the mean IQ score of people in a certain country is 103. Suppose the director of a college obtains a simple random sample of 37 students from that country and finds the mean IQ is 107.4 with a standard deviation of 13.8. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Consider the hypotheses Ho: H= 103 versus H: u> 103. Explain what the director is testing. Perform the test at the a = 0.01 level of significance. Write a conclusion for the test. Explain what the director is testing. Choose the correct answer below. A. The director is testing if the sample provided sufficient evidence that the population mean IQ score is actually greater than 103. B. The director is testing if the sample provided sufficient evidence that the population mean IQ score is actually not equal to 103. O C. The director is testing if the sample provided sufficient evidence that the population mean IQ score is actually equal to 103. O D.

A random sample of 16 adult male wolves from the Canadian Northwest Territories gave an average weight x₁ = 97 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s₁ = 6.7 lb. Another sample of 26 adult male 14 wolves from Alaska gave an average weight x2 = 88 lb with estimated sample standard deviation $₂ = 7.5 lb. USE SALT (a) Let u represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories, and let μ2 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from Alaska.
