Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.25P
During the course of a motor test, the motor rpm (revolutions per minute) is measured and recorded at regular intervals as
990
1030
950
1050
1000
980
Calculate the mean value, standard deviation, and best estimate of true value for this data set. Over what interval would 50% of the entire population of motor speed values fall? Test the data set for potential outliers.

The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated? Estimate how many data have negative value (?<0) after elimination.arrow_forward
