Chapter 11.3, Problem 11.22E

A tire company is considering switching to a new type of adhesive designed to improve tire reliability in high-temperature and overload conditions. In laboratory “torture” tests with temperatures and loads 90% higher than the maximum normally encountered in the field, 15 tires constructed with the new adhesive run an average of 65 miles before failure, with a standard deviation of 14 miles. For 18 tires constructed with the conventional adhesive, the mean mileage before failure was 53 miles, with a standard deviation of 22 miles. Assuming normal populations and using the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the new adhesive is superior to the old under such test conditions? What is the most accurate statement that could be made about the p-value for this test?

Results of tossing a coin four times: H, H, H, H How many times is the Coin expected to come up heads? How did you determine this number?     Calculate the % deviation.       Can these results be used to conclude that a coin is not fair? Why or why not?
Cycles to failure Position in ascending order 0.5 f(x)) (x;) Problem 44 Marsha, a renowned cake scientist, is trying to determine how long different cakes can survive intense fork attacks before collapsing into crumbs. To simulate real-world cake consumption, she designs a test where cakes are subjected to repeated fork stabs and bites, mimicking the brutal reality of birthday parties. After rigorous testing, Marsha records 10 observations of how many stabs each cake endured before structural failure. Construct P-P plots for (a.) a normal distribution, (b.) a lognormal distribution, and (c.) a Weibull distribution (using the information included in the table below).
