A dynamic cone pentameter (DCP) is used for measuring material resistance to penetration (mm/blow) as a cone is driven into pavement or subgrade. Suppose that for a particular application it is required that the true average DCP value for a certain type of pavement be less than 30. The pavement will not be used unless there is conclusive evidence that the specification has been met. Suppose that the sample mean is 28.8 and the sample standard deviation is 12.3 for the sample size of 52. Test this claim at 5% level of significance. Let μ be the true average DCP value. (a) State the hypothesis. (b) Decide the significance level. (c) Calculate the test statistic

A company need to estimate the average weight of a product at 95% level of confidence. Average weight and standard deviation of a sample of size 50 are 20.5 kg and 4.8 kg respectively. Estimate the average weight of the total production.
The gasoline consumption projected for a car model is 13 km / l. After the launch of the vehicle, a specialized magazine carried out a test that showed 1300 cars, an average consumption of 12.3 km / l. The manufacturer claims that the standard deviation of consumption is 0.5 km / l. test the hypothesis that consumption is at least 13km / l.
You wish to determine the average VO2max (maximum rate of oxygen consumption, often associated with athletic performance) of a sample of 100 Olympic athletes, and to use a quantitative metric to assess your confidence in the average (mean) value. You calculate a mean of 71 ml/kg/min and a variance of 26.06 from your sample. Question: What are the standard error of the mean (SEM) and the approximate 95% CI of the mean?
a) Soil has been improved to increase the strength of a ground. The average compressive strength of 61 samples before treatment is 45 kg / cm2 and the standard deviation is 6.75 kg / cm2; The average compressive strength of 56 samples after the improvement is 52.5 kg / cm2 and the standard deviation is 8 kg / cm2. Determine whether the improvement application changes the standard deviation of the soil strength or not at the 5% significance level .b) Find the confidence intervals at the 7% significance level of the mean compressive strength of the sample after improvement?

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.)

Mr. Matar Al Maqbali measured the concentration of Zinc ion in the wastewater received from Industrial samples on daily basis. He has drawn and consider a Gaussian distribution curve with a population mean of 10.254 mg/L and a population standard deviation of 0.155 mg/L. Find the fraction of measurements expected between 10.525 and 10.575 mg/L if many measurements are made.
Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 600 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 2900 grams and a standard deviation of 440 grams.

The valve pressure was tested on 250 engines and the mean pressure was 5.9 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.36. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 5.8 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs about the specifications?
