Chapter 12.5, Problem 58E
The Turbine Oil Oxidation Test (TOST) and the Rotating Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) are two different procedures for evaluating the oxidation stability of steam turbine oils. The article “Dependence of Oxidation Stability of Steam Turbine Oil on Base Oil Composition” (J. of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engrs., Oct. 1997: 19–24) reported the accompanying observations on x = TOST time (hr) and y = RBOT time (min) for 12 oil specimens.
TOST | 4200 | 3600 | 3750 | 3675 | 4050 | 2770 |
RBOT | 370 | 340 | 375 | 310 | 350 | 200 |
TOST | 4870 | 4500 | 3450 | 2700 | 3750 | 3300 |
RBOT | 400 | 375 | 285 | 225 | 345 | 285 |
- a. Calculate and interpret the value of the sample
correlation coefficient (as do the article’s authors). - b. How would the value of r be affected if we had let x = RBOT time and y = TOST time?
- c. How would the value of r be affected if RBOT time were expressed in hours?
- d. Construct normal
probability plots and comment. - e. Carry out a test of hypotheses to decide whether RBOT time and TOST time are linearly related.

The article “Effect of Varying Solids Concentration and Organic Loading on the Performance of Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion Process” (S. Vandenburgh and T. Ellis, Water Environment Research, 2002:142–148) discusses experiments to determine the effect of the solids concentration on the performance of treatment methods for wastewater sludge. In the first experiment, the concentration of solids (in g/L) was 43.94 ± 1.18. In the second experiment, which was independent of the first, the concentration was 48.66 ± 1.76. Estimate the difference in the concentration between the two experiments, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
