An experiment is conducted to compare the maximum load capacity in tons (the maximum weight that can be tolerated without breaking) for two alloys A and B It is Kknown that the two standard deviations in load capacity are equal at 7 tons each. The experiment is conducted on 50 specimens of each alloy (A and B) and the results are X = 75.8. X = 71.8, and X-X=4. The manufacturers of alloy A are convinced that this evidence shows conclusively that Hug and strongly supports the claim that their alloy is superior. Manufacturers of alloy 8 claim that the experiment could easily have given X-X 4 even if the two population means are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table. Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. (a) Make an argument that manufacturers of alloy B are wrong.

Q5 Find the variance for the PDF px(x) = e-«/2, x > 0.
An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple of “heads” (h) and tails (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below. A) Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px. First, fill in the first row with the values X. Then fill in the appropriate probability in the second row.

A random sample of n = 19 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43. Previous studies show that o1 = 10. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 34. Previous studies show that o2 = 13. Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: H1 H2 O Ho: H1 = l2; H1: H1 < µ2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? O The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations. O The Student's t.
