Chapter 5, Problem 40E
Rivets A company that manufactures rivets believes the shear strength (in pounds) is modeled by N(800, 50).
- a) Draw and label the Normal model.
- b) Would it be safe to use these rivets in a situation requiring a shear strength of 750 pounds? Explain.
- c) About what percent of these rivets would you expect to fall below 900 pounds?
- d) Rivets are used in a variety of applications with varying shear strength requirements. What is the maximum shear strength for which you would feel comfortable approving this company’s rivets? Explain your reasoning.

An ecologist hypothesizes a relationship between wing span of birds and the width of tree branches they use. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in
millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch
diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below. What can the ecologist conclude with an a of 0.10?
