Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

To describe:

Tenacity and intuition as methods of knowing and acquiring knowledge and identify an example and limitation of each method.

Answer to Problem 1LO

Solution:

Tenacity is defined as the one of the most common and dangerous method of accepting new information.

Intuition is defined as the belief that whatever they answer that is true without any evidence.

Explanation of Solution

There are various methods of knowing or acquiring knowledge: tenacity, intuition, authority, the rational method and the empirical method. Tenacity is one of the most commonly used method which tells that the truth is true even when the evidence contradicts whereas the intuition is the method in which believe or guess of a person is considered without any evidence. The limitation to tenacity method is that it is strong in terms of belief even in the presence of proof/evidence. Therefore this method might not be accurate. The intuition is a good

as it supports us to develop our confidence but sometimes it is harmful because intuition may not be right always as there are evidences available against the intuition but one does not believe as he/she may be overconfident about that.

Conclusion:

Tenacity and intuition are the methods for acquiring knowledge. Tenacity is the method in which truth is considered as true even if the evidence is against in that truth whereas the intuition means believe or guess in the absence of evidence.

Justification:

As the tenacity tells that the truth is true even if there is absence of support in terms of evidence such as in the research work, if our research is true and evidence, that is, another research paper is in against of our research paper, we consider that our research is correct. In some competitive examinations, sometimes the options given for the particular question may not correct then, in that case, one ticks the correct option on the basis of his/her intuition.

4.96 The  breaking  strengths  for  1-foot-square  samples  of  a  particular  synthetic  fabric  are  approximately  normally  distributed  with  a  mean  of  2,250  pounds  per  square  inch  (psi)  and  a  standard deviation of 10.2 psi. Find the probability of selecting a  1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15  1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15  1-foot sections of new fabric
