The main component part is a steel trough that is made out of 14-gauge steel coil. Steel troughs are produced using a 250-ton progressive punch press that puts two 90° forms in the flat steel to make the trough. The distance from one side of the form to the other is critical for weatherproofing. The width of the trough is specified to be between 8.4 inches and 8.5 inches. n=49 (values below) Width 8.312 8.343 8.317 8.383 8.348 8.410 8.351 8.373 8.481 8.422 8.476 8.382 8.484 8.403 8.414 8.419 8.385 8.465 8.498 8.447 8.436 8.413 8.489 8.414 8.481 8.415 8.479 8.429 8.458 8.462 8.460 8.444 8.429 8.460 8.412 8.420 8.410 8.405 8.323 8.420 8.396 8.447 8.405 8.439 8.411 8.427 8.420 8.498 8.409 Question a) For α=.05, is there sufficient sample evidence that the true mean width of the troughs is…arrow_forward
