8.1.13 WP GO Tutorial An article in the Journal of Agricultural
Science ["The Use of Residual Maximum Likelihood to Model
Grain Quality Characteristics of Wheat with Variety, Climatic
and Nitrogen Fertilizer Effects” (1997, Vol. 128, pp. 135–142)]
investigated means of wheat grain crude protein content (CP) and
Hagberg falling number (HFN) surveyed in the United Kingdom.
The analysis used a variety of nitrogen fertilizer applications (kg
N/ha), temperature (°C), and total monthly rainfall (mm). The
following data below describe temperatures for wheat grown at
Harper Adams Agricultural College between 1982 and 1993. The
temperatures measured in June were obtained as follows:

Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean yield. 8.1.7 .A manufacturer produces piston rings for an automobile engine. It is known that ring diameter is normally distributed with σ = 0.001 millimeters. A random sample of 15 rings has a mean diameter of x = 74.036 millimeters. a. Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the mean piston ring diameter. b. Construct a 99% lower-confidence bound on the mean piston ring diameter. Compare the lower bound of this confi- dence interval with the one in part (a).arrow_forward8.1.2 .Consider the one-sided confidence interval expressions for a mean of a normal population. a. What value of zα would result in a 90% CI? b. What value of zα would result in a 95% CI? c. What value of zα would result in a 99% CI? 8.1.3 A random sample has been taken from a normal distribution and the following confidence intervals constructed using the same data: (38.02, 61.98) and (39.95, 60.05) a. What is the value of the sample mean? b. One of these intervals is a 95% CI and the other is a 90% CI. Which one is the 95% CI and why?arrow_forward
- 8.1.4 . A confidence interval estimate is desired for the gain in a circuit on a semiconductor device. Assume that gain is normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 20. a. How large must n be if the length of the 95% CI is to be 40? b. How large must n be if the length of the 99% CI is to be 40? 8.1.5 Suppose that n = 100 random samples of water from a freshwater lake were taken and the calcium concentration (milligrams per liter) measured. A 95% CI on the mean calcium concentration is 0.49 g μ g 0.82. a. Would a 99% CI calculated from the same sample data be longer or shorter? b. Consider the following statement: There is a 95% chance that μ is between 0.49 and 0.82. Is this statement correct? Explain your answer. c. Consider the following statement: If n = 100 random samples of water from the lake were taken and the 95% CI on μ computed, and this process were repeated 1000 times, 950 of the CIs would contain the true value of μ. Is this statement correct? Explain your answerarrow_forward2 6. Modelling. Suppose that we have two tanks (A and B) between which a mixture of brine flows. Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute. Brine is drained from Tank B at a rate of 5 liters per minute. (a) Draw and carefully label a picture of the situation, including both tanks and the flow of brine between them.
