In the article “Parameter Estimation with Only One Complete Failure Observation” (W. Pang, P. Leung, et al., International Journal of Reliability, Quality, and Safety Engineering, 2001:109–122), the lifetime, in hours, of a certain type of bearing is modeled with the Weibull distribution with parameters α = 2.25 and μ = 4.474 × 10−4. a) Find the probability that a bearing lasts more than 1000 hours. b) Find the probability that a bearing lasts less than 2000 hours. c) Find the median lifetime of a bearing. d) The hazard function is defined in Exercise 8. What is the hazard at t = 2000 hours?

A consumer group claims that the mean minimum time it takes for a sedan to travel a quarter mile is greater than 14.8 seconds. A random sample of 22 sedans has a mean minimum time to travel a quarter mile of 15.5 seconds and a standard deviation of 2.09 seconds. At α=0.01 is there enough evidence to support the consumer​ group's claim? Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed   ​(a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha.  b) THe claim is the _______ hypothesis. c) t= d) p= e) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. f) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.

Young's modulus is a quantitative measure of stiffness of an elastic material. Suppose that for aluminum alloy sheets of a particular type, its mean value and standard deviation are 70 GPa and 1.6 GPa, respectively (values given in the article "Influence of Material Properties Variability on Springback and Thinning in Sheet Stamping Processes: A Stochastic Analysis" (Intl. J. of Advanced Manuf. Tech., 2010: 117-134)).

The article “Structural Performance of Rounded Dovetail Connections Under Different Loading Conditions” (T. Tannert, H. Prion, and F. Lam, Can J Civ Eng, 2007:1600–1605) describes a study of the deformation properties of dovetail joints. In one experiment, 10 rounded dovetail connections and 10 double rounded dovetail connections were loaded until failure. The rounded connections had an average load at failure of 8.27 kN with a standard deviation of 0.62 kN. The double-rounded connections had an average load at failure of 6.11 kN with a standard deviation of 1.31 kN. Can you conclude that the mean load at failure is greater for rounded connections than for double-rounded connections?

sto ave 12.72 (M4) The authors of the paper "Serum Zinc Levels of Cord Blood: Relation to Birth Weight and Gestational Period" (Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology [2015]: 180-183) car- ried out a study of zinc levels of low-birth-weight babies and normal-birth-weight babies. For a sample of 50 low- birth-weight babies, the sample mean zinc level was 17.00 and the standard error was 0.43. For a sample of 73 normal-birth-weight babies, the sample mean zinc level was 18.16 and the standard error was 0.32. Explain why the two standard errors are not the same.
