Chapter 7, Problem 54SE
It is important that face masks used by firefighters be able to withstand high temperatures because firefighters commonly work in temperatures of 200–500°F. In a test of one type of mask, 11 of 55 masks had lenses pop out at 250°. Construct a 90% upper confidence bound for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 250°.

- To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 44feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e). a) identify the claim and state Ho and Ha b) find the critical values and identify the rejection regions c) Find the standardized test statistic z d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.arrow_forwardThe boiling point of 16 samples of a certain brand of hydrogenated vegetable oil used in a fryer was collected, resulting in Xbar=152.1 degrees.
