An automotive company designs a new type of brake pad. The lifespan of this brake pad, in terms of its effective braking capability, follows a Weibull distribution with a shape parameter k=2 and a scale parameter λ=3 (in tens of thousands of miles). What is the probability that the brake pad will require replacement within the first 20,000 miles? Determine the mileage by which 5% of these brake pads are expected to require replacement.

Rhino viruses typically cause common colds. In a test of the effectiveness of echinacea, 33 of the 38 subjects treated with echinacea developed rhinovirus infections. In a placebo group, 94 of the 111 subjects developed rhinovirus infections. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that echinacea has an effect on rhinovirus infections. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of subjects treated with echinacea and the second sample to be the sample of subjects treated with a placebo.

A statistical program is recommended. Electric power consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The local utility company offers an interrupt program whereby commercial customers that participate receive favorable rates but must agree to cut back consumption if the utility requests them to do so. A certain company cuts back consumption at 12:00 noon Thursday. To assess the savings, the utility must estimate the company's usage without the interrupt. The period of interrupted service was from noon to 8:00 p.m. Data on electric power consumption for the previous 72 hours are available.

It costs more to produce defective items—since they must be scrapped or reworked—than it does to produce non-defective items. This simple fact suggests that manufacturers should ensure the quality of their products by perfecting their production processes instead of depending on inspection of finished products (Deming, 1986). In order to better understand a particular metal stamping process, a manufacturer wishes to estimate the mean length of items produced by the process during the past 24 hours. a. How many parts should be sampled in order to estimate the population mean to within .2 millimeter (mm) with 95% confidence? Previous studies of this machine have indicated that the standard deviation of lengths produced by the stamping operation is about 2 mm. b. Time permits the use of a sample size no larger than 225. If a 95% confidence interval for m is constructed with n = 225, will it be wider or narrower than would have been obtained using the sample size determined in part a?…
