Ch6. "A carpet manufacturing company is comparing the tensile strengths of two different types of synthetic fiber. Synthetic fiber A used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75 psi and standard deviation 12 psi, and synthetic fiber B has tensile strength that is 70 psi and standard deviation 12 psi. Random sample of nA = 16 and nB = 9 of fiber specimens are selected. Find the probability that 3.5 < XA- Xg <6.5. Determine the value of zs. P(

Iron plates are required to have a certain thickness but each plate produced will differ slightly from each other due to properties of the material and uncertainties in the behaviour of the machines that make them. Let X be the plate thickness in mm of plates produced by a given machine. Using the machine's default setting, X follows a normal distribution with mean 12mm and standard deviation 1.5mm (a) What percentage of plates should be expected to be thinner than 10 mm? (b) What percentage of plates should be expected to be thicker than 15mm?

The University of Florida is interested in determining if there is a difference in the amount of money spent on food every two weeks between male and female students. They take a random sample of 20 male students (group 2) and 20 female students (group 1). They also find that xbar2 is 106 with a standard deviation of 14, and xbar1 is 146 with a standard deviation of 39. Do not assume equal variances. Find the test statistic for the difference in the amount of money spent. (Round your answer to one number after the decimal.)

The score on a standardized test for a certain year is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 56.7 points and the standard deviation is 4.8 points. In the figure, V is a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W. Percentage of total area shaded: (Choose one) v 68% 95% 99.7% 40 45 50 55 O 60 65 | 70 75 Test score
