Chapter 10.1, Problem 5E
Consider the following summary data on the modulus of elasticity (3 106 psi) for lumber of three different grades [in close agreement with values in the article “Bending Strength and Stiffness of Second-Growth Douglas-Fir Dimension Lumber” (Forest Products J., 1991: 35–43), except that the sample sizes there were larger]:
Grade | J |
|
si |
1 | 10 | 1.63 | .27 |
2 | 10 | 1.56 | .24 |
3 | 10 | 1.42 | .26 |
Use this data and a significance level of .01 to test the null hypothesis of no difference in

A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected.
a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected.
b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected?
c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
