An experiment was performed to compare the fracture toughness of high-purity \(18Ni\) maraging steel with commercial-purity steel of the same type (Corrosion Science, 1971: 723鈥736). For \(m = 32\)specimens, the sample average toughness was \(\overline x = 65.6\) for the high purity steel, whereas for \(n = 38\)specimens of commercial steel \(\overline y = 59.8\). Because the high-purity steel is more expensive, its use for a certain application can be justified only if its fracture toughness exceeds that of commercial purity steel by more than 5. Suppose that both toughness distributions are normal.

a. Assuming that \({\sigma _1} = 1.2\) and \({\sigma _2} = 1.1\), test the relevant hypotheses using \(\alpha = .001\).

b. Compute \(\beta \) for the test conducted in part (a) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 6.\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

a)do not reject null hypothesis

b)\(\beta (6) = 0.095\)

Step by step solution

01

find the value of the test statistic

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{\bar x = 65.6;}&{m = 32}\\{\bar y = 59.8;}&{n = 38.}\end{array}\)

Both toughness distribution are normal.

a)

\({\sigma _1} = 1.2\)for the first sample and \({\sigma _2} = 1.1. \)for the second sample.

When there is a null hypothesis.

\({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta _0}\)

The test statistic value is based on the assumption of two normal population distributions with known \({\sigma _1}\) and \({\sigma _2}\) values, as well as two independent random samples.

\(z = \frac{{(\bar x - \bar y) - {\Delta _0}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} }}\)

The P value for the acceptable alternative hypothesis is derived as the sufficient area under the standard normal curve.

The hypothesis of interest are \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 5\) versus \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 5\)

The value of the test statistic is

\(z = \frac{{65.6 - 59.8 - 5}}{{\sqrt {1.{2^2}/32 + 1.{1^2}/38} }} = 2.89\)

The area under the standard normal curve to the right of \(z\) can be used to get the \(P\) value. The \(P\) value can be calculated using the table in the appendix or software.

\(P = P(Z > 2.89) = 1 - P(Z \le 2.89) = 1 - 0.9981 = 0.0019.\)

Since

\(P = 0.0019 > 0.001 = \alpha \)

The null hypothesis should not be reject

At level \(0.001\).

02

Compute \(\beta \)

b)

The type II error \(\beta \) for \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta ^'}\) vary depending on the alternative hypothesis. \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 5\) and \({\Delta ^'} = 1\) is the alternative hypothesis, in which case the type II error is.

\(\beta \left( {{\Delta ^'}} \right) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\)

Where

The type II error \(\beta \) when \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 6\) is

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta (6) = \Phi \left( {3.09 - \frac{{6 - 5}}{{\sqrt {1.{2^2}/32 + 1.{1^2}/38} }}} \right)\\ = \Phi \left( {3.09 - \frac{1}{{0.2272}}} \right)\\ = \Phi ( - 1.311) = 0.095.\end{array}\)

The table in the appendix was used to determine values of \(\Phi \) and \({z_\alpha } = {z_{0.001}} = 3.09.\)

03

conclusion

a)do not reject null hypothesis

b)\(\beta (6) = 0.095\)

The article "Evaluating Variability in Filling Operations" (Food Tech., 1984: 51-55) describes two different filling operations used in a ground-beef packing plant. Both filling operations were set to fill packages with \(1400\;g\)of ground beef. In a random sample of size 30 taken from each filling operation, the resulting means and standard deviations were \(1402.24\;g\) and \(10.97\;g\) for operation 1 and \(1419.63\;g\) and \(9.96\;g\) for operation 2.

a. Using a .05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the true mean weight of the packages differs for the two operations?

b. Does the data from operation 1 suggest that the true mean weight of packages produced by operation 1 is higher than\(1400\;g\)? Use a \(.05\)significance level.

An experimenter wishes to obtain a CI for the difference between true average breaking strength for cables manufactured by company I and by company II. Suppose breaking strength is normally distributed for both types of cable with s1 5 30 psi and s2 5 20 psi.

  1. If costs dictate that the sample size for the type I cable should be three times the sample size for the type II cable, how many observations are required if the 99% CI is to be no wider than 20 psi?
  2. Suppose a total of 400 observations is to be made. How many of the observations should be made on type I cable samples if the width of the resulting interval is to be a minimum?

To decide whether two different types of steel have the same true average fracture toughness values, n specimens of each type are tested, yielding the following results:

\(\begin{array}{l}\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ Type }&{ Sample Average }&{ Sample SD }\\1&{60.1}&{1.0}\\2&{59.9}&{1.0}\\{}&{}&{}\end{array}} \\\end{array}\)

Calculate the P-value for the appropriate two-sample \(z\) test, assuming that the data was based on \(n = 100\). Then repeat the calculation for \(n = 400\). Is the small P-value for \(n = 400\) indicative of a difference that has practical significance? Would you have been satisfied with just a report of the P-value? Comment briefly.a

1. An article in the November \(1983\) Consumer Reports compared various types of batteries. The average lifetimes of Duracell Alkaline \(AA\)batteries and Eveready Energizer Alkaline \(AA\) batteries were given as \(4.1\) hours and \(4.5\) hours, respectively. Suppose these are the population average lifetimes.

a. Let \(\bar X\) be the sample average lifetime of \(100\) Duracell batteries and \(\bar Y\) be the sample average lifetime of \(100\) Eveready batteries. What is the mean value of \(\bar X - \bar Y\) (i.e., where is the distribution of \({\bf{\bar X - \bar Y}}\) centered)? How does your answer depend on the specified sample sizes?

b. Suppose the population standard deviations of lifetime are \(1.8\) hours for Duracell batteries and \(2.0\) hours for Eveready batteries. With the sample sizes given in part (a), what is the variance of the statistic \(\bar X - \bar Y\), and what is its standard deviation?

c. For the sample sizes given in part (a), draw a picture of the approximate distribution curve of \(\bar X - \bar Y\) (include a measurement scale on the horizontal axis). Would the shape of the curve necessarily be the same for sample sizes of \(10\) batteries of each type? Explain

the article 鈥樷檈valuation of a ventilation strategy to prevent barotrauma in patients at high risk for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome鈥 (New Engl. J. of Med., \(1998:355 - 358)\) reported on an experiment in which \(120\) patients with similar clinical features were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each consisting of \(60\) patients. The sample mean ICU stay (days) and sample standard deviation for the treatment group were \(19.9\) and\(39.1\), respectively, whereas these values for the control group were \(13.7\) and \(15.8\).

a) Calculate a point estimate for the difference between true average ICU stay for the treatment and control groups. Does this estimate suggest that there is a significant difference between true average stays under the two conditions?

b) Answer the question posed in part (a) by carrying out a formal test of hypotheses. Is the result different from what you conjectured in part (a)?

c)Does it appear that ICU stay for patients given the ventilation treatment is normally distributed? Explain your reasoning9. The article 鈥淓valuation of a Ventilation Strategy to Prevent Barotrauma in Patients at High Risk for

d)Estimate true average length of stay for patients given the ventilation treatment in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability
