Caselet #1 CONCRETE STRENGTH The strength of concrete depends, to some extent, on the method used for drying. Two different drying methods showed the following results for independently tested specimens (measurements in psi): Do the methods appear to produce concrete with different mean strengths?

A pet food company is concerned that their pet food must have a certain % of the mineral zinc in the food. Too little and dogs get very sick. If the machinery is working correctly, the average zinc is u = .375 gram/lb of food. They sample 25 bags of food and find: i = .359 grams o = .05 grams The firm wants to know if their pet food is healthy. They decide on a 95% level of significance. Do the Z test. They ask you to perform the analysis. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: На: b) Draw a picture/graph of what you are trying to find. c) Find the critical value you will use. d) Compute the test statistic (from the data) e) What do you conclude? Why?

1. Analyze the data as a two way factorial design. Johnson and Leone (Statistics and Experimental Design in Engineering and the Physical Sciences, Wiley, 977) describe an experiment to investigate warping of copper plates. The two factors studied were the temperature and the copper content of the plates. The response variable was a measure of the amount of warping. The data were as follows: Temperature (°C) 50 75 100 125 40 17, 20 12,9 16, 12 21, 17 Copper Content (%) 60 80 16, 21 18, 13 18, 21 23, 2! 24, 22 17, 12 25, 23 23, 22 100 28, 27 27, 31 30, 23 29, 31

An article reported data from a study in which both a baseline gasoline mixture and a reformulated gasoline were used. Consider the following observations on age (yr) and NOx emissions (g/kWh): Engine 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Age 0 0 2 11 7 16 9 0 12 4 Baseline 1.70 4.38 4.06 1.24 5.29 0.59 3.35 3.45 0.73 1.22 Reformulated 1.86 5.91 5.51 2.70 6.50 0.71 4.95 4.86 0.72 1.41 Construct scatter plots of the baseline NOx emissions versus age. What appears to be the nature of the relationship between these two variables? There is no compelling relationship between the data. As age increases, emissions also increase. As age increases, emissions decrease.

Much concern has been expressed regarding the practice of using nitrates as meat preservatives. In one study involving possible effects of these chemicals, bacteria cultures were grown in a medium containing nitrates. The rate of uptake of radio-labeled amino acid (in dpm, disintegrations per minute) was then determined for each culture, yielding the following observations. 7,256 6,876 9,634 6,867 9,091 5,848 7,061 7,491 7,882 8,173 7,521 8,721 8,959 7,973 X 7,463 Suppose that it is known that the mean rate of uptake for cultures without nitrates is 8,000. Do the data suggest that the addition of nitrates results in a decrease in the mean rate of uptake? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.10. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) t = P-value = 0.2142 State your conclusion. O Fail to reject Ho. We have convincing evidence that…
