Twinned drill holes. A traditional method of verifying mineralization grades in mining is to drill twinned holes, i.e., the drilling of a new hole, or “twin,” next to an earlier drill hole. The use of twinned drill holes was investigated in Exploration and Mining Geology (Vol. 18, 2009). Geologists use data collected at both holes to estimate the total amount of heavy minerals (THM) present at the drilling site. The data in the following table (based on information provided in the journal article) represent THM percentages for a sample of 15 twinned holes drilled at a diamond mine in Africa. The geologists want to know if there is any evidence of a difference in the true THM means of all original holes and their twin holes drilled at the mine.
- a. Explain why the data should be analyzed as paired differences.
- b. Compute the difference between the “1st Hole” and “2nd Hole” measurements for each drilling location.
- c. Find the
mean and standard deviation of the differences, part b. - d. Use the summary statistics, part c, to find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference (“1st Hole” minus “2nd Hole”) in THM measurements.
- e. Interpret the interval, part d. Can the geologists conclude that there is no evidence of a difference in the true THM means of all original holes and their twin holes drilled at the mine?

If the new supplier does provide spools of .20-mm solid OFE copper wire that average 50 inches between flaws, how is the length of wire between two consecutive flaws distributed? 2. Using the probability distribution you identified in (1), what is the probability that Gebhardt's criteria will be met (i.e., a 1 in 20 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless)? 3 3. In inches, what is the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in satisfaction of Gebhardt's criteria? 4. In inches, what is the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in a 1 in 100 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless?

In each case, indicate whether the resulting measurements would be classified as variables or attributes data. 1. The number of flaws per square foot in a large sheet of metal. 2.

As the joint wears, the ball (head) becomes rough Investigators performed wear tests on metal artificial hip joints. Joints with several different diameters were tested.

Because the design is unbalanced, check that the assumption of equal variances is by showing that the largest sample standard deviation is less than twice as large as the smallest one. b.

In many animal species the males and females differ slightly in structure, coloring, and/orsize. The hominidspecies Australopithecus is thought to have lived about 3.2 million years ago. (“Lucy,” the famous nearcompleteskeleton discovered in 1974, is an Australopithecus .) Forensic anthropologists use partial skeletalremains to estimate the mass of an individual. The data below are estimates of masses from partial skeletalremains of this species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate graphical displays of the data indicate thatit is reasonable to assume that the population distributions of mass are approximately normal for bothmales and females. You may also assume that these samples are representative of the respectivepopulations.Estimates of mass (kg)Males 51.0, 45.4, 45.6, 50.1, 41.3, 42.6, 40.2, 48.2, 38.4, 45.4, 40.7, 37.9, 41.3, 31.5Females 27.1, 33.5, 28.0, 30.3, 32.7, 32.5, 34.2, 30.5, 27.5, 23.3,35.7Do these data provide convincing evidence that the mean estimated masses…arrow_forwardlocal fast-food res et y denote the caarrow_forward
