Prob. Two alloys A and B are being used to manufacture a certain steel product. An experiment needs to be designed to compare the two in terms of maximum load capacity in tons (the maximum weight that can be tolerated without breaking). It is known that alloy A has a mean load capacity of 49.5 and standard deviation of 4, whereas alloy B has a mean load capacity of 45.5 with standard deviation 5. An experiment is conducted in which 36 specimens of alloy A and 49 specimens of alloy B are tested. What is the probability that the sample mean load capacity of alloy A exceeds the sample mean load capacity of alloy B by at most 5.5 tons?

In a random sample of 75 eighth grade students scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 266. The test result prompts a state school administration to declare that the mean score for the stated eighth graders on this exam is more than 260. Assume the population standard deviation is 34. At a=0.09, is there enough evidence to support the administrations claim? Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha Find the standardized test statistic z, and its corresponding area
Statewide, social workers have an average annual salary of $29,000. A random sample of 159 social workers in Pocatello have an annual salary of $29,501, with a standard deviation of $977. Are the annual salaries of social workers in Pocatello significantly different from the statewide average? Please complete all five steps of the five step model, showing as much of your work as possible. (alpha = .05 and Z(critical)+-1.96).
An engineer working for a tire manufacturer investigates the average life of a new material to be used in the manufacturing process. For this purpose, he builds a sample of 13 tires and tests them in a laboratory until the end of their useful life is reached. The data obtained from the sample are as follows: average of 60897.9 km and standard deviation of 2734.8 km. The engineer would like to demonstrate that the average service life of the tire with the new material exceeds 60,000 km. a) State the null and alternative hypothesis to be stated in this experiment. Test the stated hypotheses using an α = 0.05 What conclusions are reached? b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average tire life with the new material. Interpret your answer.

Bowker and Lieberman (1972) gave the results for tests of two thermostats used in irons that were made by an old supplier and a new supplier. 18 thermostats were sampled from the old supplier and 21 thermostats were sampled from the new supplier. The actual temperatures measured with a thermocouple and were recorded. The sample from the old supplier had a mean of x₁ =549.8 and a standard deviation of s₁=9.6. The sample from the new supplier had a mean of x₂=550.4 and a standard deviation of s2=11.2. Determine the value of the pooled standard deviation Sp Sp = ... (Record to two decimal places.) 4
3) A study was conducted to see if increasing the substrate concentration has an appreciable effect on the velocity of a chemical reaction. With a substrate concentration of 1.5 moles per liter, the reaction was run 15 times, with an average velocity of 7.5 micromoles per 30 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5. With a substrate concentration of 2.0 moles per liter, 12 runs were made, yielding an average velocity of 8.8 micromoles per 30 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Is there any reason to believe that this increase in substrate concentration causes an increase in the mean velocity of the reaction of more than 0.5 micromole per 30 minutes? Use a 0.01 level of significance and assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal variances
An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-temperature performance. A sample of 60 transistors of type A were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1827 hours and a standard deviation of 174 hours. A sample of 180 transistors of type B were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1658 hours and a standard deviation of 231 hours. Let ux represent the population mean for transistors of type A and µy represent the population mean for transistors of type B. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference uy – µy . Round the answers to three decimal places. The 95% confidence interval is

4) Lasers can provide highly accurate measurements of small movements. To determine the accuracy of such a laser, it was used to take 95 measurements of a known quantity. The sample mean error was 22 μm with a standard deviation of 65 μm. The laser is properly calibrated if the mean error is μ = 0. A test is made of H 0 : μ = 0 versus H 1 : μ ≠ 0. Is the following statement True or False? If the p-value calculated is a very small probability, then it is plausible that the laser is out of calibration.
A researcher compares two compounds (1 and 2) used in the manufacture of car tires that are designed to reduce braking distances for SUVs equipped with the tires. The mean braking distance for SUVS equipped with tires made with compound 1 is 68 feet, with a population standard deviation of 13.9. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 2 is 73 feet, with a population standard deviation of 13.7. Suppose that a sample of 72 braking tests are performed for each compound. Using these results, test the claim that the braking distance for SUVS equipped with tires using compound 1 is shorter than the braking distance when compound 2 is used. Let μ, be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 1 and μ₂ be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 2. Use the 0.05 level of significance. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

The circumference of a particular species of tree was thought to be different depending on certain geographical factors. An SRS of 60 trees is selected in Sequoyah National Forest, where it is found that = 6 meters with a standard deviation = 3 meters. A second SRS of size 40 is independently selected in Yellowstone National Forest, and it is found that = 4 meters with a standard deviation = 2 meters. Let μ1 and μ2 represent, respectively, the true mean circumferences of this particular species of tree. Assume the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. A 95% confidence interval for μ1 – μ2 is
Suppose there are two different vaccines for Covid, Vaccine X and Vaccine Y. An interesting question is which vaccine has a higher 6-month antibody effectiveness quotient (6AEQ). To examine this we randomly select 78 recipients of vaccine X and 93 recipients on vaccine Y. The vaccine X recipients had a mean 6AEQ of x = 151. The vaccine Y recipients had a mean 6AEQ of y = 148. It is recognized that the true standard deviation of 6AEQ for vaccine X recipients is 0x = 8.7 while it is recognized that the true standard deviation of 6AEQ for vaccine Y recipients is dy = 11.5. The true (unknown) mean 6AEQ for vaccine X recipients is μx, while the true (unknown) mean 6AEQ for vaccine Y recipients is y. 6AEQ measurements are known to be a normally distributed. In summary: Type Sample Size Sample Mean Standard Deviation Vaccine X 78 Vaccine Y 93 151 148 8.7 11.5 a) Calculate the variance of the random variable X which is the mean of the 6AEQ measurements of the 78 vaccine X recipients.…
