Two catalysts in a batch chemical process are being compared for their effect on the output of the process reaction. A sample of 10 batches was prepared using catalyst 1 and gave an average yield of 82 with a sample standard deviation of 6. A sample of 12 batches was prepared using catalyst 2 and gave an average yield 78 and a sample standard deviation of 4. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population means, assuming that the populations are approximately normally distributed with equal variances. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of the t-distribution. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of the t-distribution. Let µ, be the population mean for catalyst 1 and let µ2 be the population mean for catalyst 2. The confidence interval is <µ1 - H2<: (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

In building an arena, steel bars with mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 megapascal(Mpa) with a variance of 81 Mpa were delivered by the manufacturer. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypotheses whether or not there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed test with a=0.01. 1. What are the appropriate hypotheses for the two-tailed test? 2. What is the test statistics to be used and the reasons for its selection? 3. What is the critical value of c? 4. What is the value of the test statistic or the computed value? 5. Formulate a conclusion about the given situation.
If 10 measurements of the density of a certain kind of glass had a variance of 0.0012, construct a 95% confidence interval for σ2, which measures the true variability of the density of this kind of glass.
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2. A random sample of 12 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 67 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 11 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 70 seconds with a standard deviation of 16 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference u, -4, between the mean processing time of computer 1, µ,, and the mean processing time of computer 2, µ„. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places.

To evaluate the effect of a treatment, a sample of n = 8 is obtained from a population with a mean of μ= 40, and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 35. If the sample variance isS2= 32, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α=.05? If the sample variance isS2= 72, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with α=.05? Comparing your answer for parts a and b, how does the variability of the scores in the sample influence the outcome of a hypothesis test?
Two catalysts may be used in a batch chemical process. 12 batches were prepared using catalyst 1, resulting in an average yield of 86 and a sample standard deviation of 3. 15 batches were prepared using catalyst 2, and they resulted in an average yield of 89 with a standard deviation of 2. Assume that yield measurements are approximately normally distributed with the same standard deviation. Is there evidence to support a claim that catalyst 2 produces a higher mean yield than catalyst 1? Use alpha 0.01. • Let the yield measurements from catalyst 1 represent population 1.

An important problem in industry is shipment damage. A windshield factory ships its product by truck and determines that it cannot meet its profit expectations if, on average, the number of damaged items per truckload is greater than 12. A random sample of 12 departing truckloads is selected at the delivery point and the average number of damaged items per truckload is calculated to be 11.3 with a calculated sample of variance of 0.49. Select a 99% confidence interval for the true mean of damaged items.
A study was conducted to compare to brands of milk. Random sample A of 25 packs of milk with a mean content of 237 grams and standard deviation of 8.56 grams. Another sample B of 20 packs of milk showed a mean content of 240 grams and standard deviation of 9.75 grams. Using 0.05 level of significance will we agree that sample A exceeds that of sample B by 2 grams nutrient content, conduct hypothesis testing assuming that variances are equal.
A carpenter is making doors that are 2058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 61 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2044 millimeters with a variance of 729. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are either too long or too short? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
