Use a statistical software package to construct a normal
13. Allowable mechanical properties for structural design of metallic aerospace vehicles requires an approved method for statistically analyzing empirical test data. The article “Establishing Mechanical Property Allowable for Metals’’ (J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1998: 293-299) used the accompanying data on tensile ultimate strength (ksi) as a basis for addressing the difficulties in developing such a method.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data by first deleting (truncating) the tenths digit and then repeating each stem value five times (once for leaves 1 and 2, a second time for leaves 3 and 4, etc.). Why is it relatively easy to identify a representative strength value?
b. Construct a histogram using equal-width classes with the first class having a lower limit of 122 and an upper limit of 124. Then comment on any interesting features of the histogram.

Warming and Ice Melt The average depth of the Hudson Bay is 305 feet. Climatologists were interested in seeing if the effects of warming and ice melt were affecting the water level. Fifty-five measurements over a period of weeks yielded a sample mean of 306.2 feet. The population variance is known to be 3.6. Can it be concluded that the average depth has increased with a=.05 ?
a)Use the P-value Method
b) Use the Critical Value Method
An Ohio college student died when he tried to escape from dormitory elevator that was overloaded with 25 passengers. The elevator was rated for a maximum weight of 2500 pounds. Let’s consider this elevator with an allowable weight of 2500 pounds. Let’s also consider parameters for weights of adults, as shown in the accompanying table (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B of your e-text).

We could consider design features such as the type of music that could be played on the elevator. We could select songs as “Imagine” or “Daydream Believer.” Instead, we will focus on the critical design feature of weight.
4. Do you think the weights of college students are different from weights of adults from the general population? If so, how? How would that affect elevator design?

A manufacturer of a synthetic fiber says that his product has the same average tensile strength as natural fibers and the same variability. Samples of 10 synthetic fibers and 12 natural fibers were randomly selected and tested to verify their resistance to breach. The means and standard deviations of the two samples are given below: Synthetic fiber x=450 kg 120 kg S₁ - Natural fiber x= 420 kg S₂ = 150 kg a significance level of alpha = 0.05, Test the manufacturer's claim.arrow_forward
