Two suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measured in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in ₁ = 290 and s₁ = 12, and another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x₂ = 321 and s₂ = 22. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean impact strength and explain how this interval could be used to answer the question posed regarding supplier-to- supplier differences. Assume that both populations are normally distributed but the variances are not equal (Case 2: o² #02) a. 17.175 <= u1-u2 <= 44.825. Because zero is contained in the confidence interval, we conclude that supplier 2 provides gears with a higher mean impact strength than supplier 1 with 90% confidence O b. None among the choices O c. 17.175 <= u1-u2 <= 44.825. Because zero is not contained in the confidence interval, we conclude that supplier 2 provides gears with a higher mean impact strength than supplier 1 with 95% confidence O d. 17.175 <= u1-u2 <= 44.825. Because zero is not contained in the confidence interval, we conclude that supplier 2 provides gears with a lower mean impact strength than supplier 1 with 99% confidence

A biology student measured the ear lengths of an SRS of 10 Mountain cottontail rabbits, and an SRS of 10 Holland lop rabbits. The ear lengths for the two samples are listed in the two tables attached (see attached image). (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean ear lengths between Mountain cottontail rabbits and Holland lop rabbits. Make sure to define which is “µ1” and which is “µ2.” (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.) (b) Do Holland lop rabbits have longer ears on average than Mountain cottontail rabbits? Carry out a test of significance to answer this question. Show your work at each step. Don’t forget to state the hypotheses at the start (making sure to define all parameters), and to include a conclusion in terms of the original problem. (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.)

The braking ability was compared for two car models. Random samples of two cars were selected. The first random sample of size 64 cars yield a mean of 36 and a standard deviation of 8. The second sample of size 64 yield a sample mean of 33 and a standard deviation of 8.

The specification for the pull strength of a wire that connects an integrated circuit to its frame is 10 g or more. In a sample of 85 units made with gold wire, 68 met the specification, and in a sample of 120 units made with aluminum wire, 105 met the specification. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of units that meet the specification between units with gold wire and those with aluminum wire.
Your company is evaluating two cloud-based secured data storage services. "Great Sky," the newer service, claims its uploading and downloading speeds are faster than the older service, "Clear and Steady Skies." You need to make a decision based on published access times for both services at different times and for varying file sizes. To make your decision, you purchase two statistical studies from which you discover the average download time for Great Sky is 0.67 sec. per MB and for Clear Steady Skies is 0.84. Additionally, the studies indicate the following sample information: NGS = 60 ncss = 50, SGS = 0.25 and scss = 0.55. Use a .05, and the five step hypothesis testing procedure to make the appropriate decision. Prepare an Excel worksheet properly labeled and well formatted to share with your boss (a very picky person that truly appreciates good looking work product).
Construct a (1-α)% interval estimate for the mean force of electrical insulators, and then display the Minitab confidence interval output and interpret the interval. Note: The ‘alternative’ text box in the options window must be a ‘≠’. Make sure to state the meaning of µ first thing. The building code regulations require that these insulators have a mean force in psi of at least 1700 lbs. to be safe for commercial applications. Based on the interval estimate for µ, is the mean force in psi at least 1700 lbs.? A manufacturing company produces electric insulators. You define the variable of interest as the strength of the insulators. If the insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely. To test the strength of the insulators, you carry out destructive testing to determine how much force is required to break the insulators. You measure force by observing how many pounds are applied to the insulator before it breaks. You collect the force data for 30 insulators selected for the…
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 120 engines and the mean pressure was 4.6 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.64. If the valve body is designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.4 lbs/ square inch is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level valve performs above specifications

Polymer composite materials have gained popularity because they have high strength to weight ratios and are relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture. However, their nondegradable nature has prompted development of environmentally friendly composites using natural materials. An article reported that for a sample of 10 specimens with 2% fiber content, the sample mean tensile strength (MPa) was 51.4 and the sample standard deviation was 1.2. Suppose the true average strength for 0% fibers (pure cellulose) is known to be 48 MPa.

Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the towels' mean absorbency produced by the two processes. Assume the standard deviations are estimated from the data. Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).
