A value has been measured by Instrument A 33 times with a standard deviation of 4.3. Another value has been measured 7 times with Instrument B.

A flexible pavement has a 4-inch sand-mix asphalt wearing surface, 10-inch soil cement base, and a 10- inch crushed stone subbase. It is designed to withstand 400 20-kip single-axle loads and 900 35-kip tandem-axle loads per day. The subgrade CBR is 8, the overall standard deviation is 0.45, the initial PSI is 4.2, and the final PSI is 2.5. What is the probability that this pavement will have a PSI above 2.5 after 25 years?

Two soft drink machines dispense liquids of 10 ounces, on the average. The question is whether the two machines are equally consistent in the dispensing of the liquid. To answer this question, a sample of size 10 was obtained from each machine and the sample standard deviations were computed to be s1 = 1.87 ounces and s2 = 1.25 ounces. Perform the appropriate test of hypothesis using α = 0.05
Test the claim that the samples come from populations with the same mean. Assume that the populations are normally distributed with the same variance. 1) Given the sample data below, test the claim that the populations have the same mean. Use 1) a significance level of 0.05. Brand A n = 10 x = 32.1 s2 = 4.37 Brand B n = 10 x = 32.6 s2 = 3.61 Brand C n = 10 x = <= 27.2 s² = 3.34
A process converts lead to gold. However, the production varies due to the power of the alchemist. It is known that the process is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5g. How many samples must be taken to be 90% certain that an estimate of the mean process is within 1.5g of the true but unknown mean yield?
A company makes electrical resistors. The perfect resistor has a value of 400 ohms. A sample of 2000 resistors was tested and found to have a mean of 391.5 ohms and a standard deviation of 22.5 ohms. Assuming a normal distribution:a. How many resistors in the sample will have more than 440 ohms of resistance?b. How many resistors in the sample will have less than 360 ohms of resistance? note: you can use the frequency distribution table picture I attached.
