5. Two types of plastic are suitable for use by an electronic calculator manufacturer. The breakingstrength of this plastic is important. It is known that 0₁ = 02 = 1.0 psi. From random samplesof n₁ = 10 and n₂ = 12 we obtain y₁ = 162.5 and y2 = 155.0. The company will not adopt plastic1 unless its breaking strengths exceeds that of plastic 2 by at least 10 psi. Based on the sampleinformation, should they use plastic 1? In answering this question, set up and test appropriatehypotheses using a = 0.01. Construct a 99 percent confidence interval on the true mean differencein breaking strength.

Solution: Given information: n1= 10n2= 12y1= 162.5y2= 155.0σ1=σ2=1.0α=0.01

Answered: = 5. Two types of plastic are suitable…

Q1 (а) і. 10,000 vehicle speed traffic data were collected during the weekday on route FT050 at Batu Pahat, Johor. Suggest how to quantify and describe the basic characteristic of this data. Then explain how the method you suggested can help others to understand the data.
A diet center wanted to test three different methods for losing weight to determine if the average weight loss (reported in pounds/week) for each method is the same. The results for the three methods are tabulated below. Given that there is a significant difference between the three methods, use the Tukey test to determine if there is a significant difference between each pair of methods. Let a=0.05.

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.t A mean arsenic level of u = 8.0 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 36 tests gave a sample mean of x = 6.7 ppb arsenic, with s = 3.0 ppb.

An engineer wants to compare the tensile strengths of steel bars that are produced using a conventional method and an experimental method. (The tensile strength of a metal is a measure of its ability to resist tearing when pulled lengthwise.) To do so, the engineer randomly selects steel bars that are manufactured using each method and records the following tensile strengths (in Newtons per square millimeter). At α=.10, can the engineer claim that the experimental method produces steel with greater mean tensile strength? Should the engineer recommend using the experimental method? First use the F test to determine whether or not to use equal variances in choosing the model.(??? ????? ?? ???? ?̅ ??? ? ??? ???ℎ ???ℎ??)

Given the “data” determined by y = x^3 + (x-1)^2 with x = 0.1, 1.2, 2.3, and 2.9, calculate SSTO, SSR, and R^2. Then recalculate these using x = 0.3, 1, 2.45, and 2.8. Does where you collect your data (i.e., which values of x) appear to impact your interpretation of how good the linear model fits?.
A manufacturer wants to increase the shelf life of a line of cake mixes. Past records indicate that the average shelf life of the mix is 234 days. After a revised mix has been developed, a sample of nine boxes of cake mix gave these shelf lives (in days): 232,238, 238, 239, 236, 243, 243, 244, and 240. At a = 0.05, the manufacturer wants to test if the shelf life of the cake mix increased. What critical value must be used for this test?
