Chapter 4, Problem 4.51P
A transducer is used to indicate the pressure of a vessel when the pressure exceeds 8.16 bar. The test of the system is repeated 20 times, resulting in a mean pressure of 8.23 bar with a standard deviation of 0.201 bar. Determine the reliability of the transducer at a = 0.05.

"The temperature of an ice bath is measured numerous times with a digital thermometer. The true temperature of the ice bath is 0.07202C. The sample mean temperature is T = -0.0008C. The sample standard deviation of all the readings is 0.02529C. We assume that the precision errors in the readings are purely random. In the standard engineering format, calculate the tolerance for 95%."
3. A consumer product company is formulating a new shampoo and is interested in foam
height (in millimeters). Foam height is approximately normally distributed and has a
standard deviation, 6, of 10 millimeters. The company wishes to test the following
hypotheses using the results of n=25 samples:
Ho: μ = 160, Ηi: μ < 160
The critical region to reject the null hypothesis is X < 155
