Question
A study of runoff water from a manufacturing plant was made. Included in the study were pH measurements for six water specimens: 5.9, 5.0, 6.5, 5.6, 5.9, 6.5. Assume that these are a random sample of water specimens from a normal population. A tolerance interval for the pH that includes 95% of the specimens with 95% confidence is closest to

- A company manufactures an electrical cooling fan. When the fans are performing properly, samples of 200 fans average 12.5 watts with an average range of 1.2 watts. A 3σ control chart program is being used to monitor the performance of the fans, and these data from the 10 most recent samples were collected: Sample Number Sample Mean Sample Range 1 12.5 1.1 2 12.45 1.2 3 12.55 0.9 4 12.50 0.8 5 12.45 0.9 6 12.60 1.0 7 12.48 1.4 8 12.46 1.1 9 12.56 0.9 10 12.48 0.8 Compute the 3σ control limits and center line for an ⁻x chart.

- It has been estimated that the 1991 G-car obtains a mean of 35 miles per gallon on the highway, and the company that manufactures the car claims that it exceeds the estimate in highway driving. To support its assertion, the company randomly selects 49 1991 G-cars and records the mileage obtained for each car over a driving course similar to that used to obtain the estimate. The following data resulted: x = 36.5 miles per gallon, s = 7 miles per gallon. %3D a. Find the observed significance level for testing Ho: u= 35 vs. Ha: u> 35. %3D b. For what value of significance level a, you will reject the null hypothesis.arrow_forwardWhile conducting experiments, a marine biologist selects water depths from a uniformly distributed collection that vary between 1.50 m and 5.50 m.

Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?arrow_forward
