The steel is cut with a diamond saw, and the resulting parts must be cut to be within 0.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. The measurement reported from a sample of 100 steel parts (stored in “Assignment 2 – Steel.xlsx” ) is the difference, in inches, between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first observation, -0.002, represents a steel part that is 0.002 inch shorter than the specified length. -0.0042 0.0057 0.0031 -0.0085 -0.0087 0.0083 0.0035 -0.0070 0.0040 0.0080 0.0094 -0.0036 -0.0067 0.0052 0.0100 -0.0010 0.0077 0.0010 -0.0060 -0.0025 -0.0022 -0.0097 0.0047 0.0060 0.0006 -0.0044 0.0015 0.0089 -0.0039 -0.0064 -0.0046 -0.0096 0.0021 -0.0071 -0.0020 0.0009 -0.0028 -0.0060 0.0001 -0.0057 -0.0062 0.0054 0.0061 0.0090 0.0004 0.0051…arrow_forwardThe National Center for Health Statistics reports that the average systolic blood pressure for males 35-44 years of age has a mean of 121.
