Acrylic bone cement is commonly used in total joint arthroplasty as a grout that allows for the smooth transfer of loads from a metal prosthesis to bone structure. The paper “Validation of the Small-Punch Test as a Technique for Characterizing the Mechanical Properties of Acrylic Bone Cement” (J. of Engr. in Med., 2006: 11–21) gave the following data on breaking force (N):
Temp | Medium | n |
|
s |
22° | Dry | 6 | 170.60 | 39.08 |
37° | Dry | 6 | 325.73 | 34.97 |
22° | Wet | 6 | 366.36 | 34.82 |
37° | Wet | 6 | 306.09 | 41.97 |
Assume that all population distributions are normal.
a. Estimate true average breaking force in a dry medium at 37° in a way that conveys information about reliability and precision, and interpret your estimate.
b. Estimate the difference between true average breaking force in a dry medium at 37° and true average force at the same temperature in a wet medium, and do so in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. Then interpret your estimate.
c. Is there strong evidence for concluding that true average force in a dry medium at the higher temperature exceeds that at the lower temperature by more than 100 N?

- The article "Effect of Granular Subbase Thickness on Airfield Pavement Structural Response" (K. Gopalakrishnan and M. Thompson, Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2008:331-342) presents a study of the amount of surface deflection caused by aircraft landing on an airport runway. A load of 160 kN was applied to a runway surface, and the amount of deflection in mm (y) was measured at various distances in m (x) from the point of application.

- 6 A valve manufacturer produces a butterfly valve composed of two semicircular plates on acommon spindle that is used to permit flow in one direction only (seen here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve). The semicircular plates are supplied by a vendorwith specifications that the plates be 2.37 millimeters thick and have a tensile strength of fivepounds per millimeter. A random sample of 20 such plates is taken. Electronic calipers are usedto measure the thickness of each plate. A universal testing machine was used to test the tensilestrength.

- A consumer agency is investigating the blowout pressures of Soap Stone tires. A Soap Stone tire is said to blow out when it separates from the wheel rim due to impact forces usually caused by hitting a rock or a pothole in the road. A random sample of 28 Soap Stone tires were inflated to the recommended pressure, and then forces measured in foot-pounds were applied to each tire (1 foot-pound is the force of 1 pound dropped from a height of 1 foot). The customer complaint is that some Soap Stone tires blow out under small-impact forces, while other tires seem to be well made and don't have this fault. For the 28 test tires, the sample standard deviation of blowout forces was 1358 foot-pounds. Soap Stone claims its tires will blow out at an average pressure of 24,000 foot-pounds, with a standard deviation of 1020 foot-pounds. The average blowout force is not in question, but the variability of blowout forces is in question.
