Chapter 4, Problem 26E

The cooling system in a nuclear submarine consists of an assembly pipe through which a coolant is circulated. Specifications require that weld strength must meet or exceed 150 psi.

(a) Suppose the designers decide to test the hypothesis H 0 : μ = 150 versus H 1 : μ > 150. Explain why this choice of alternative is preferable to

(b) A random sample of 20 welds results in x ¯ = 153.7 psi and s = 11.5 psi. What conclusions can you draw about the hypothesis in part (a)? Use α = 0.05.

Q3) An experiment was carried out to investigate variation of solubility of chemical X in water. The quantities in kg that dissolved in 1 liter at various temperatures are show in the table (1). Table (1) Temperature C Mass of X 2.1 2.6 2.9 3.3 15 20 25 30 35 4 50 5.1 70 7 Use the proper methods to answer the following questions: a) Draw a scatter diagram to show the data. b) Estimate the temperature based on the mass of X. c) What quantity might be expected to dissolve at 42 C? Find the quantity that your cquation indicates would dissolve at 10 C and comment on your answer.
Hypertension is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. In elderly patients with hypertension, a high systolic pressure can cause a fainting episode, so X transporting them to an emergency clinic is imperative. Let be the systolic blood pressure of elderly patients with hypertension on arrival at the emergency clinic after a fainting episode. A random sample of such patients was considered. The measurements of each patient, in mm Hg, are given below. At the 5% level of significance, can we conclude from the data in this sample that the mean systolic blood pressure of all elderly hypertensive patients transported to an emergency clinic after a fainting episode is smaller than 175 mm Hg? patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 X 166 178 153 157 178 158 153 169 182 155 151 195 202 169 157 patient 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 X 173 161 155 154 178 200 168 196 180 191 167 170 161 191 166 patient 31 32 33 34 35…
A pet food company is concerned that their pet food must have a certain % of the mineral 2Ine II the food. Too little and dogs get very sick. If the machinery is working correctly, the average zinc is µu = .375 gram/lb of food. They sample 25 bags of food and find: x = .359 grams o = .05 grams The firm wants to know if their pet food is healthy. They decide on a 95% level of significance. Do the Z test. They ask you to perform the analysis. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: На: b) Draw a picture/graph of what you are trying to find. c) Find the critical value you will use. d) Compute the test statistic (from the data) e) What do you conclude? Why?
