Chapter 20, Problem 52P
An experiment is performed to define the relationship between applied stress and the time to fracture for a type of stainless steel. Eight different values of stress are applied, and the resulting data are
| Applied stress x,
|
5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 |
| Fracture time y, hr | 40 | 30 | 25 | 40 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 15 |
Plot these data and then develop a best-fit equation to predict the fracture time for an applied stress of

aylor Swift wants to know the proportion of her fans who listened to her new single ME! within the first hour of it being released. In order to estimate this, she takes a sample of 150 of her fans and asks them if they listened to the song in this time period. Of the 150 fans, 135 of them (90%) responded that they did listen to the song during this time period. What is the parameter and what is its value?
a.
The parameter is the proportion of the 150 sampled Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is 135.
b.
The parameter is the group of Taylor Swift fans who were surveyed, which is 150.
c.
The parameter is the proportion of all Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is unknown.
d.
The parameter is the proportion of all Taylor Swift fans who listened to ME! within the first hour after it released, which is 0.9.
e.
The parameter is the…
A group of researchers studied the effect of acid rain on wildlife and collected n = 12 samples from streams in different States. They recorded the pH (X) of
the water (i.e. units above pH 7), and the BCI, a measure of biological diversity (Y). The data obtained is summarized below.

A manufacturing company produces electric insulators. You define the variable of interest as the strength of the insulators. If the insulators break when in use, a short circuit is likely. To test the strength of the insulators, you carry out destructive testing to determine how much force is required to break the insulators. You measure force by observing how many pounds are applied to the insulator before it breaks. The accompanying data represent the amount of force required to break a sample of 30 insulators.
