A mechanical engineer wishes to compare strength properties of steel beams with similar beams made with a particular alloy. The same number of beams, \(n\), of each type will be tested. Each beam will be set in a horizontal position with a support on each end, a force of \(2500lb\) will be applied at the center, and the deflection will be measured. From past experience with such beams, the engineer is willing to assume that the true standard deviation of deflection for both types of beam is \(.05in\). Because the alloy is more expensive, the engineer wishes to test at level \(.01\) whether it has smaller average deflection than the steel beam. What value of n is appropriate if the desired type II error probability is \(.05\) when the difference in true average deflection favors the alloy by \(.04in\).?

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

\(n = 50\)

Step by step solution

01

standard normal distribution

The null hypothesis is \({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 0\), \({\mu _2}\) with representing the true average of alloy and \({\mu _1}\)being the true average of steel beam. The type II error \(\beta \) for \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = {\Delta ^'}\) vary depending on the alternative hypothesis. The alternative hypothesis is \({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > 0\) and \({\Delta ^'} = 0.4, \), which indicates that the type II error is present

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

Where

\(\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} \)

\({\sigma _1} = {\sigma _2} = 0.05\)and \(m = n\). The significance level is \(\alpha = 0.01,{z_\alpha } = {z_{0.01}} = 2.33\). Using the fact

\(\Phi (1.645) = 0.05\)

The following holds true, as determined by the table in the book's appendix.

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta \left( {{\Delta ^'}} \right) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\\0.05 = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right) and 0.05 = \Phi (1.645)\\\Phi (1.645) = \Phi \left( {{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma }} \right)\end{array}\)

The following is true because \(\Phi \) is a cdf of standard normal distribution.

\(\begin{array}{l}{z_\alpha } - \frac{{{\Delta ^'} - {\Delta _0}}}{\sigma } = 1.645\\2.33 - \frac{{0.04 - 0}}{\sigma } = 1.28\\{\sigma ^2} = \frac{{0.0{4^2}}}{{{{(1.645 + 2.33)}^2}}}\end{array}\)

02

find n value

remember that

\(\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n}} ,\)

and

\({\sigma ^2} = \frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{m} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{n} = \frac{{0.0{5^2}}}{n} + \frac{{0.0{5^2}}}{n} = \frac{{0.0025 + 0.0025}}{n}\)

by substituting this, the following is true

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{0.0025 + 0.0025}}{n} = \frac{{0.0016}}{{{{(1.645 + 2.33)}^2}}}\\n = \frac{{(0.0025 + 0.0025) \times {{(2.33 + 1.645)}^2}}}{{0.0016}}\\n = 49.38\end{array}\)

However, because \(n\) must be an integer number (sample size), the required value of \(n\) is

\(n = 50\)

03

conclusion

\(n = 50\)

The accompanying summary data on total cholesterol level (mmol/l) was obtained from a sample of Asian postmenopausal women who were vegans and another sample of such women who were omnivores (鈥淰egetarianism, Bone Loss, and Vitamin D: A Longitudinal Study in Asian Vegans and Non-Vegans,鈥 European J. of Clinical Nutr., 2012: 75鈥82)

Diet sample sample sample

Size mean SD

\(\overline {\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ Vegan }&{88}&{5.10}&{1.07}\\{ Omnivore }&{93}&{5.55}&{1.10}\\{}&{}&{}&{}\end{array}} } \)

Calculate and interpret a \(99\% \) \(CI\) for the difference between population mean total cholesterol level for vegans and population mean total cholesterol level for omnivores (the cited article included a \(95\% \)\(CI\)). (Note: The article described a more sophisticated statistical analysis for investigating bone density loss taking into account other characteristics (鈥渃ovariates鈥) such as age, body weight, and various nutritional factors; the resulting CI included 0, suggesting no diet effect.

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.

How does energy intake compare to energy expenditure? One aspect of this issue was considered in the article 鈥淢easurement of Total Energy Expenditure by the Doubly Labelled Water Method in Professional Soccer Players鈥 (J. of Sports Sciences, 2002: 391鈥397), which contained the accompanying data (MJ/day).

Test to see whether there is a significant difference between intake and expenditure. Does the conclusion depend on whether a significance level of .05, .01, or .001 is used?

The accompanying summary data on compression strength (lb) for \({\bf{12 \times 10 \times 8}}\)in. boxes appeared in the article "Compression of Single-Wall Corrugated Shipping Containers Using Fixed and Floating Test Platens" (J. Testing and Evaluation, 1992: 318-320). The authors stated that "the difference between the compression strength using fixed and floating platen method was found to be small compared to normal variation in compression strength between identical boxes." Do you agree? Is your analysis predicated on any assumptions?

The derailment of a freight train due to the catastrophic failure of a traction motor armature bearing provided the impetus for a study reported in the article "Locomotive Traction Motor Armature Bearing Life Study" (Lubrication Engr., Aug. 1997: 12-19). A sample of high-mileage traction motors was selected, and the amount of cone penetration (mm/ 10) was determined both for the pinion bearing and for the commutator armature bearing, resulting in the following data:

Motor

1 2 3 4 5 6

Commutator 211 273 305 258 270 209

Pinion 266 278 259 244 273 236

Motor

7 8 9 10 11 12

Commutator 223 288 296 233 262 291

Pinion 290 287 315 242 288 242

Motor

13 14 15 16 17

Commutator 278 275 210 272 264

Pinion 278 208 281 274 268

Calculate an estimate of the population mean difference between penetration for the commutator armature bearing and penetration for the pinion bearing, and do so in a way that conveys information about the reliability and precision of the estimate. (Note: A normal probability plot validates the necessary normality assumption.) Would you say that the population mean difference has been precisely estimated? Does it look as though population mean penetration differs for the two types of bearings? Explain.
