The pressure of air (in MPa) entering a compressor is measured to be X = 8.5 ± 0.2, and the pressure of the air leaving the compressor is measured to be Y = 21.2 ± 0.3. The intermediate pressure is therefore measured to be P = √XY = 13.42 . Assume that X and Y come from normal populations and are unbiased. a) From what distributions is it appropriate to simulate values X* and Y*? b) Generate simulated samples of values X*, Y*, and P*. c) Use the simulated sample to estimate the standard deviation of P. d) Construct a normal probability plot for the values P*. Is it reasonable to assume that P is approximately normally distributed? e) If appropriate, use the normal curve to find a 95% confidence interval for the intermediate pressure.
Use a t-distribution to answer this question. Assume the samples are random samples from distributions that are reasonably normally distributed, and that a t-statistic will be used for inference about the difference in sample means. State the degrees of freedom used. Find the proportion in a t-distribution less than – 1.4 if the samples have sizes nị 30 and n2 :40. Enter the exact answer for the degrees of freedom and round your answer for the area to three decimal places. degrees of freedom = i proportion = i
