Chapter 6.3, Problem 1E
Integrated circuits consist of electric channels that are etched onto silicon wafers. A certain proportion of circuits are defective because of “undercutting,” which occurs when too much material is etched away so that the channels, which consist of the unetched portions of the wafers, are too narrow. A redesigned process, involving lower pressure in the etching chamber, is being investigated. The goal is to reduce the rate of undercutting to less than 5%. Out of the first 1000 circuits manufactured by the new process, only 35 show evidence of undercutting. Can you conclude that the goal has been met?

Lichen has a high absorbance capacity for radiation fallout from nuclear accidents.
Since lichen is a major source for Alaskan caribou, and caribou is major food source tor the Alaskan
villagers, it is important to monitor the level of radioactivity in lichen.
Researcher at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, collected 9 lichen specimens and measured the
amount in micro-curies per milliliter) of the radioactive element cesium-137 for each. Using the Minitab
software, it was found that the mean and standard deviation for the 9 observations were
X = 0.009027
аnd
s = 0.004854
A) Give a point estimate for the mean amount of cesium in lichen specimens collected in Alaska.
B) Give the t- value used in a small sample 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of cesium
in Alaskan lichen specimens.
C) Form a 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of cesium in Alaskan lichen specimens.
D) Give a practical interpretation for the interval you obtained in part C.
E) What…
When light strikes the surface of a medium such as water or glass, its intensity decreases with depth. The Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law states that the percentage of decrease is the same
for each additional unit of depth.
In the ocean, the photic zone is the region where there is sufficient light for photosynthesis to occur. (See the figure below.) For marine phytoplankton, the photic zone extends from the
surface of the ocean to a depth where the light intensity is about 1% of surface light. Consider a region of the ocean where the depth of the photic zone is about D = 18 meters. In this
region of the ocean, by what percentage does light intensity decrease for each additional meter of depth? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Current practice is to add a treatment to the soil to support growth. One of the manufacturers of the treatment chemical has indicated there will be an extremely sharp increase in the price, and you need to determine if it is worth the company’s investment to continue the old protocol. Your data suggests that the average height of a 5-month-old sapling treated with the chemical is 58.2-cm. You collect data on n=19 saplings that have not been treated, and the average height after 5-months is x=56.1 (with a standard deviation of s=5.4). Use a hypothesis test to argue whether or not lack of treatment caused the decline in size.

(Students, although in this course we always round up to the nearest whole number for time units, in this case hours, for the purpose of ease in auto-marking this mid term, I want you to submit the number of hours you calculate to 1 decimal place as your answer. Do NOT type "hours" or any other words or symbols with your answer. Just write down the answer you get out of your calculator rounded to 1 decimal place.)

Slow moving landslides can move ('creep') at rates ranging from millimetres to several metres per year. Although they rarely claim lives, they can cause major damage to property and infrastructure.

Image credit: https://www.geoengineer.org/ne ws/italian-village-is-being-torn-apart-by-slow-moving-landslide In risk mitigation and early warning systems for landslide hazards, an important property of landslides that is monitored using radar technology is the so-called inverse velocity, y(t) = v(t) where V(t) is the landslide's velocity. Consider a slow moving landslide like that in the village of Ponzano, Italy (Figure 2).

The product that is mostly produced is concrete iron with a diameter of 12 mm because it suits the needs of consumers and the current pandemic conditions. During the period from January to December 2019, PT. X is capable of producing as many as 6800 tonnes of units. From the results produced, there is a product defect of 70.4 with the type of product damage, namely overfill (wing), overlap (excessive shape), underfill (kempong) and scratch (beret). In that period, defects were found above the tolerance limit of 2%, namely at week 5 and week 12 of 2.42% and 2.21%.
