Deep mixing is a ground improvement method developed for soft soils like clay, silt, and peat. Swedish civil engineers investigated the properties of soil improved by deep mixing with lime-cement columns in the journal Giorisk (Vol. 7, 2013). The mixed soil was tested by advancing a cylindrical rod with a cone tip down into the soil. During penetration, the cone penetrometer measures the cone tip resistance (megapascals, MPa). The researchers established that tip resistance for the deep mixed soil followed a normal distribution with u =2.2 MPa and o = 0.9 MPa. Complete parts a through c below. a. Find the probability that the tip resistance will fall between 1.5 and 3.9 MPa. The probability is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table. Tensile Strength Outside Diameter Amount of Molybdenum Place (PSI ) Y (mm) X1 (Units) X2 A 11 0.3 6 B 9 0.2 5 C 16 0.4 8 D 12 0.3 7 Using a statistical software package, the QC engineer determined the multiple regression equation to be Y’=-0.5+20X1+1X2. a) Based on the equation, what is the estimated tensile strength of a steel wire having an outside diameter of .35 mm and 6.4 units of molybdenum? b) Interpret the value of b1 in the equation.
An environmentalist monitored the water quality of a river in city Xby measuring the conductivity of the river monthly. The conductivity of a water body is an early indicator of the water quality. Owing to implementation of activities which were harmful to the nature such as an oil spill, the conductivity in µS/cm of the river decreased. However, a continuous cleaning up plan had been carried out for the river from January until April 2020 and the conductivity measurement for the months had improved as follows: a1, a2, a3, a4, a5…, an 3, 12, 27, 48, 75, …., an 1. Let an represents the conductivity for nmonths since January 2020. By using n in the formula, determine the formula to represent the conductivity sequence, an. 2.What is the estimated conductivity for January 2021? 3. By assuming bn-1= an - an-1, the monthly improvement of conductivity can be represented by the following sequence. Based on the given sequence, determine bn. b1, b2, b3, b4, …, bn = (12-3), (27-12), (48-27),…

Shortleaf Pines. The ability to estimate the volume of a tree based on a simple measurement, such as the diameter of the tree, is important to the lumber industry, ecologists, and conservationists. Data on volume, in cubic feet, and diameter at breast height, in inches, for 70 shortleaf pines was reported in C. Bruce and F. X. Schumacher’s Forest Mensuration (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1935) and analyzed by A. C. Akinson in the article “Transforming Both Sides of a Tree” (The American Statistician, Vol. 48, pp. 307–312). The data are provided on the WeissStats site. a. obtain and interpret the standard error of the estimate. b. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals. c. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.
To assess the strength of the recycled concrete aggregated products, the measurements of the resiliency modulus (MPa) were collected on 20 selected specimens. Identify the unit, population of units, variable of interest, statistical population, and sample.
PT. X is an industry engaged in concrete steel with various diameter sizes. The product that is mostly produced is concrete iron with a diameter of 12 mm because it suits the needs of consumers and the current pandemic conditions. During the period from January to December 2019, PT. X is capable of producing as many as 6800 tonnes of units. From the results produced, there is a product defect of 70.4 with the type of product damage, namely overfill (wing), overlap (excessive shape), underfill (kempong) and scratch (beret). In that period, defects were found above the tolerance limit of 2%, namely at week 5 and week 12 of 2.42% and 2.21%. During the production process PT.X has a 2% probability of producing defective products. If you check is 065, then determine:a. P(X=0)b. P(X=1)c. P(X=2)d. P(X≤2)e. P(X≥3)
the soil biogeochemistry in Californian salt marshes wished to explore how two of the most common plant species, pickleweed and pacific cordgrass, affected the accumulation of nitrogen in the soil. They measured the concentration of ammonium, a molecular form of organic nitrogen, in the soil, and measured or manipulated the density of pickleweed and cordgrass. Manipulations of ½ meter square plots (20 plots per manipulation) included removing all cordgrass (cordgrass removal), removing all pickleweed (pickleweed removal), or mixed (the control - nothing removed, thus mixed plots included a mixture of natural pickleweed and cordgrass). Boxplots of ammonium concentrations in each of the three manipulation treatments. Letters indicate differences among means as determined by a Tukey posthoc test following ANOVA. (b) Overall relationship between cordgrass stem density and soil ammonium content (includes data from all plot treatments). The solid black line and the gray shading represent the…

A study was conducted by the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech to determine if there is a significant difference in the density of organisms at two different stations located on Cedar Run, a secondary stream in the Roanoke River drainage basin. Sewage from a sewage treatment plant and overflow from the Federal Mogul Corporation settling pond enter the stream near its headwaters. The accompanying data give the density measurements, in number of organisms per square meter, at the two collecting stations. Can it be concluded, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the average densities at the two stations are equal? Assume that the observations come from normal populations with different variances. Click the icon to view the data on organisms per square meter. Let sample 1 be the station 1 data and let sample 2 be the station 2 data. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

An experiment was conducted to study the extrusion process of biodegradable packaging foam. Two of the factors considered for their effect on the unit density (mg/ml) were the die temperature (145 °C vs. 155 °C) and the die diameter (3 mm vs. 4 mm). The results are stored in [Packaging Foam 1]. Source: Data extracted from W. Y. Koh, K. M. Eskridge, and M. A.
