Question

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a semicrystalline polymer that is fully biodegradable and biocompatible, is obtained from renewable resources. From a sustainability perspective, PHB offers many attractive properties though it is more expensive to produce than standard plastics. The accompanying data on melting point (°C) for each of 12 specimens of the polymer using a differential scanning calorimeter appeared in an article.

Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength).

An EWMA chart is used to monitor a temperature in a pharmaceutical process. An automated measurement is obtained selected every minute and added to the EWMA chart. Experience indicates that o = 0.5 °F. The process target (process mean when in control) is 72 °F. The EWMA uses a lamda value 1=0.3. If the accumulated value of the EWMA at the end of measurement 47 is Z17 = 72.165 and measurement 48 is equal to X49 = 72.466, what will be the accumulated value of the EWMA at the end of measurement 48, that is ZAg = ? 72.255 72.240 72.270 72.285 72.225 not enough information

Chlorophylls a and b are plant pigments that absorb sunlight and transfer the energy into photosynthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O, releasing O2 in the process. Chlorophylls were extracted from chopped up grass and measured by spectrophotometry. The table shows results for chlorophyll a for four separate analysis of five blades of grass. Chlorophyll a (g/L) Blade 1 Blade 2 Blade 3 Blade 4 Blade 5 1.09 1.26 1.1 1.23 0.85 0.86 0.96 1.21 1.3 0.65 0.93 0.8 1.27 0.97 0.86 0.99 0.73 1.12 0.97 1.03 Four replicate measurements for each blade of grass tell us the precision of the analytical procedure (sanalysis). Differences between mean values for each of the five blades of grass are a measure of variation due to sampling (ssampling). Using Excel and it’s ANOVA function, find the standard deviations attributable to sampling and to analysis, as well as the overall standard deviation arising from both sources.

Conductivity is measured in terms of watts of heatpower transmitted per square meter of surface per degree Celsius of temperature difference on the two sides of the material.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)provides data on properties of materials. Here are 9 NISTmeasurements of the heat conductivity of a particular type offibrous-glass board: 0.0339 0.0337 0.0334 0.0334 0.03330.0333 0.0333 0.0332 0.0330 (a) We can consider this an SRS of all specimens of fibrousglass board of this type. Make a stemplot. Is there any sign ofmajor deviation from Normality? (b) Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean conductivity. (c) Is there significant evidence at the 5% level that themean conductivity of this type of fibrous-glass board is not0.0330?
