Jitter is a term used to describe the variation in conduction time of a water power system. Low
throughput jitter is eritical to successful waterline technology. An investigation of throughput
jitter in the opening switch of a prototype system yielded the following descriptive statistics on
conduction time for 18 trials: =334.8 nanoseconds and s = 6.3 nanoseconds. (Conduction time
is defined as the length of time required for the downstream current to equal 10% of the
upstream current.)
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true standard deviation of conduction times
of the prototype system.
b) A system is considered to have low throughput jitter if the true standard deviation of
conduction times is less than 7 nanoseconds. Does the prototype system satisfy this
requirement? Use a = 0.01.

Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5 °C using α = 0.05.

- 5.39 Deep mixing of soil. Deep mixing is a ground improvement method developed for soft soils like clay, silt, and peat. Swedish civil engineers investigated the properties of soil improved by deep mixing with lime-cement columns in the journal Giorisk (Vol. 7, 2013). The mixed soil was tested by advancing a cylindrical rod with a cone tip down into the soil. During penetration, the cone penetrometer mea- sures the cone tip resistance (megapascals, MPa). The re- searchers established that tip resistance for the deep mixed soil followed a normal distribution with μ = 2.2 MPa and σ = .9 MPa. a. Find the probability that the tip resistance will fall between 1.3 and 4.0 MPa. b. Find the probability that the tip resistance will exceed 1.0 MPa. c. Find a value of tip resistance, T, such that 35% of all soil samples have tip resistance values that exceed T.arrow_forwardHow do I derive a beta parameter from this?arrow_forwardUsing specific data, we find a significant difference in the proportion of fruit flies surviving after 13 days between those eating organic potatoes and those eating conventional (not organic) potatoes. This exercise asks you to conduct a hypothesis test using additional data. In this case, we are testing Ho: Po = Pc Ha: Po > Pc o where p and p represent the proportion of fruit flies alive at the end of the given time frame of those eating organic food and those eating conventional food, respectively. Use a 5 % significance level. Effect of Organic Bananas After 25 Days After 25 days, the proportion of fruit flies eating organic bananas still alive is 0.44, while the proportion still alive eating conventional bananas is 0.41.

Small amounts of CO2 stimulate growth of some organisms, whereas high concentrations inhibit the growth of most. The latter effect is used commercially when perishable food products are stored. A study is conducted to investigate the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of pseudomonas fragi, a food-spoiling organism. Carbon dioxide is administered at five predetermined different atmospheric pressures. The response measured was the percentage change in cell mass after 1-hour growing time. Ten cultures were used at each atmospheric pressure level, resulting in the following data: 0.0 .083 .29 .50 .86 62.6 50.9 45.5 29.5 24.9 59.6 44.3 41.1 22.8 17.2 64.5 47.5 29.8 19.2 7.8 59.3 49.5 38.3 20.6 10.5 58.6 48.5 40.2 29.2 17.8 64.6 50.4 38.5 24.1 22.1 50.9 35.2 30.2 22.6 22.6 56.2 49.9 27.0 32.7 16.8 52.3…arrow_forwardA marketing professor at Givens College is interested in the relationship between hours spent studying and total points earned in a course.
