Question 4. The distribution of yield strength of steel bars in batch A is normal with mean 40,000 psi and the coefficient of variation 10% while the yield strength of steel bars in batch B has a lognormal distribution with the same mean and the same of coefficient of variations as those of batch A. If it is specified that the bars with the yield strength less than 30,000 psi are considered defective and cannot be used for construction, which has higher probability to be defective, a bar from batch A or B?

Suppose the length of a particular type of snake is normally distributed with a mean of 50 inches and a standard deviation of 2.2 inches. You took a sample of 25 such snakes and the mean length for these snakes is 53 inches. a. Test the hypothesis that this sample came from a population with an average length of 50 inches. What is your conclusion if α = .05. Show your calculations including Excel functions used to do the calculations. b. Your friend believes that you took the sample from a population of snakes whose length is below 50 inches. Is your friend correct? What is your conclusion? Use α = .05 (5+5)
A population with u = 45 and o = 10 is standardized to create a new distribution withu= 100 and o = 20. In this transformation, a score of X = 15 from the original distribution will be transformed into a score of X =.

13. A standard logistic regression models the effect of age (20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60- 69) on experience of back pain (modeling yes vs. no). If age is included as a continuous covariate (with values 1, 2, 3, etc., as scores) and the regression parameter associated with age is estimated to be 0.21 with standard error of 0.08, what are the odds of backpain for a 35-year-old (e.g., in the 30-39 range) relative to the odds for a 25-year-old? Enter your answer to two numbers after the decimal place.

Consider the performance function Y = 3x1-2x2 where Xi and X2 are both normally distributed random variables with Ax' = 16.6 0% 2.45 μΧ2 = 18.8 ơx.-2.83 The two variables are correlated, and the covariance is equal to 2.0. Determine the probability of failure if failure is defined as the state when Y 0 3.8. The resistance (or capacity) R of a member is to be modeled using R = R,MPF where Rn is the nominal value of the capacity determined using code procedures and M, P, and Fare random variables that account for various uncertainties in the capacity. If M, P, and F are all lognormal random variables, determine the mean and variance of R in terms of the means and variances of M, P, and F.
A company manufactures products in its factory in Turkey for sale in Asia. Products sold in different countries differ in terms of the power outlet as well as the language of the manuals. Currently, the company assembles and packs products for sale in individual countries. The distribution of weekly demand in different countries is normally distributed with means and standard deviations as shown in the table Assume that demand in countries to be independent. Given that the lead time from the Turkey factory is (X/4) weeks, how much safety inventory does the company require in Asia if it targets a CSL level of 95 percent?X= 96 b. The company builds a distribution center in Asia. It will ship base products to this center. When an order is received, the center will assemble power supplies, add manuals, and ship the products to the appropriate country. The base products are still to be manufactured in Turkey with the same lead time. How much saving of safety inventory can the company expect…

An experiment is conducted to compare the maximum load capacity in tons (the maximum weight that can be tolerated without breaking) for two alloys A and B It is Kknown that the two standard deviations in load capacity are equal at 7 tons each. The experiment is conducted on 50 specimens of each alloy (A and B) and the results are X = 75.8. X = 71.8, and X-X=4. The manufacturers of alloy A are convinced that this evidence shows conclusively that Hug and strongly supports the claim that their alloy is superior. Manufacturers of alloy 8 claim that the experiment could easily have given X-X 4 even if the two population means are equal. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.

A persons blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related XB a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Supposed to after a 12 hour fast the random variable X will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean of u=87 and a standard deviation of O=25. Note: after 50 years of age both the mean and Standard deviation tends to increase for an adult under 50 after 12 hour fast find the following probabilities A) X is more than 60 B) X is less than 60 C) X is between 60 and 110 D) X is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
