Tensile-strength tests were carried out on two different grades of wire rod (鈥淔luidized Bed Patenting of Wire Rods,鈥 Wire J., June \(1977: 56 - 61)\), resulting in the accompanying data

Sample

Sample Mean Sample

Grade Size (kg/mm2 ) SD

\(\overline {\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ AISI 1064}&{m = 129}&{\bar x = 107.6}&{{s_1} = 1.3}\\{ AISI 1078}&{n = 129}&{\bar y = 123.6}&{{s_2} = 2.0}\\{}&{}&{}&{}\end{array}} } \)

a. Does the data provide compelling evidence for concluding that true average strength for the \(1078\) grade exceeds that for the \(1064\) grade by more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) ? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\).

b. Estimate the difference between true average strengths for the two grades in a way that provides information about precision and reliability

Short Answer

Expert verified

the solution is

a)There is adequate evidence to support the allegation that the genuine average strength of the \(1078\)grade is more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) more than that of the \(1064\) grade.

b)\(( - 16.4116, - 15.5884)\)

Step by step solution

01

test the appropriate hypotheses

  1. given:

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\bar x}_1} = 107.6\\{{\bar x}_2} = 123.6\\{s_1} = 1.3\\{s_2} = 2.0\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{n_1} = 129\\{n_2} = 129\\\alpha = 0.01\end{array}\)

We may use the \(z\)-test because the samples are large \(\left( {n > 30} \right)\). (instead of a t-test).

Assumption: exceed by more than \(10\)

Either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis is asserted. The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis are diametrically opposed. An equality must be included in the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = - 10\\{H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} > - 10\end{array}\)

Determine the value of the test statistic:

\(z = \frac{{{{\bar x}_1} - {{\bar x}_2} - \left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{s_1^2}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{s_2^2}}{{{n_2}}}} }} = \frac{{107.6 - 123.6 - ( - 10)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{1.{3^2}}}{{129}} + \frac{{2.{0^2}}}{{129}}} }} \approx - 28.57\)

If the null hypothesis is true, the \(P\)-value is the probability of getting a result more extreme or equal to the standardized test statistic \(z\). Using the normal probability table, determine the probability.

\(P = P(Z < - 28.57 or Z > 28.57) = 2P(Z < - 28.57) \approx 2(0) = 0\)

The null hypothesis is rejected if the P-value is less than the alpha significance level.

\(P < 0.01 \Rightarrow Reject {H_0}\)

There is adequate evidence to support the allegation that the genuine average strength of the \(1078\)grade is more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) more than that of the \(1064\) grade.

02

given

b)

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\bar x}_1} = 107.6\\{{\bar x}_2} = 123.6\\{s_1} = 1.3\\{s_2} = 2.0\end{array}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{n_1} = 129\\{n_2} = 129\end{array}\)

We will compute a \(95\% \) confidence interval, confidence intervals with other confidence levels can be calculated similarly.

\(c = 95\% = 0.95\)

03

confidence interval

for confidence interval\(1 - \alpha = 0.95,\) determine \({z_{\alpha /2}} = {z_{0.025}}\) using the normal probability table ( look up \(0.025\) in the table, the \(z\)-score is then the found \(z\)-score with opposite sign):

\({z_{\alpha /2}} = 1.96\)

The margin of error then becomes:

\({z_{\alpha /2}} = 1.96E = {z_{\alpha /2}} \times \sqrt {\frac{{\sigma _1^2}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{\sigma _2^2}}{{{n_2}}}} = 1.96 \times \sqrt {\frac{{1.{3^2}}}{{129}} + \frac{{2.{0^2}}}{{129}}} \)\( \approx 0.4116\)

The endpoints of the confidence interval of \({\mu _1} - {\mu _2}\) are:

\(\begin{array}{l}\left( {{{\bar x}_1} - {{\bar x}_2}} \right) - E = (107.6 - 123.6) - 0.4116 = - 16 - 0.4116 = - 16.4116\\\left( {{{\bar x}_1} - {{\bar x}_2}} \right) + E = (107.6 - 123.6) + 0.4116 = - 16 + 0.4116 = - 15.5884\end{array}\)

04

conclusion

a)There is adequate evidence to support the allegation that the genuine average strength of the \(1078\)grade is more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) more than that of the \(1064\) grade.

b)\(( - 16.4116, - 15.5884)\)

Most popular questions from this chapter

Head ability is the ability of a cylindrical piece of material to be shaped into the head of a bolt, screw, or other cold-formed part without cracking. The article "New Methods for Assessing Cold Heading Quality" (Wire J. Intl., Oct. 1996: 66-72) described the result of a head ability impact test applied to 30 specimens of aluminum killed steel and 30 specimens of silicon killed steel. The sample mean head ability rating number for the steel specimens was 6.43, and the sample mean for aluminum specimens was 7.09. Suppose that the sample standard deviations were 1.08 and 1.19, respectively. Do you agree with the article's authors that the difference in head ability ratings is significant at the 5% level (assuming that the two head ability distributions are normal)?

The article "Fatigue Testing of Condoms" cited in Exercise 7.32 reported that for a sample of 20 natural latex condoms of a certain type, the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the number of cycles to break were 4358 and 2218 , respectively, whereas a sample of 20 polyisoprene condoms gave a sample mean and sample standard deviation of 5805 and 3990 , respectively. Is there strong evidence for concluding that true average number of cycles to break for the polyisoprene condom exceeds that for the natural latex condom by more than 1000 cycles? Carry out a test using a significance level of 01 . (Note: The cited paper reported P-values of t tests for comparing means of the various types considered.)

The article "'The Effects of a Low-Fat, Plant-Based Dietary Intervention on Body Weight, Metabolism, and Insulin Sensitivity in Postmenopausal Women" (Amer. J. of Med., \(2005: 991 - 997\)) reported on the results of an experiment in which half of the individuals in a group of\(64\)postmenopausal overweight women were randomly assigned to a particular vegan diet, and the other half received a diet based on National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines. The sample mean decrease in body weight for those on the vegan diet was\(5.8\;kg\), and the sample SD was\(3.2\), whereas for those on the control diet, the sample mean weight loss and standard deviation were\(3.8\)and\(2.8\), respectively. Does it appear the true average weight loss for the vegan diet exceeds that for the control diet by more than\(1\;kg\)? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses at significance level .05.

Fusible interlinings are being used with increasing frequency to support outer fabrics and improve the shape and drape of various pieces of clothing. The article "Compatibility of Outer and Fusible Interlining Fabrics in Tailored Garments" (Textile Res. J., \(1997: 137 - 142\)) gave the accompanying data on extensibility\((\% )\)at\(100gm/cm\)for both high-quality (H) fabric and poor-quality (P) fabric specimens.

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}H&{1.2}&{.9}&{.7}&{1.0}&{1.7}&{1.7}&{1.1}&{.9}&{1.7}\\{}&{1.9}&{1.3}&{2.1}&{1.6}&{1.8}&{1.4}&{1.3}&{1.9}&{1.6}\\{}&{.8}&{2.0}&{1.7}&{1.6}&{2.3}&{2.0}&{}&{}&{}\\P&{1.6}&{1.5}&{1.1}&{2.1}&{1.5}&{1.3}&{1.0}&{2.6}&{}\end{array}\)

a. Construct normal probability plots to verify the plausibility of both samples having been selected from normal population distributions.

b. Construct a comparative boxplot. Does it suggest that there is a difference between true average extensibility for high-quality fabric specimens and that for poor-quality specimens?

c. The sample mean and standard deviation for the highquality sample are\(1.508\)and\(.444\), respectively, and those for the poor-quality sample are\(1.588\)and\(.530.\)Use the two-sample\(t\)test to decide whether true average extensibility differs for the two types of fabric.

The article "The Influence of Corrosion Inhibitor and Surface Abrasion on the Failure of Aluminum-Wired Twist-On Connections" (IEEE Trans. on Components, Hybrids, and Manuf. Tech., 1984: 20-25) reported data on potential drop measurements for one sample of connectors wired with alloy aluminum and another sample wired with EC aluminum. Does the accompanying SAS output suggest that the true average potential drop for alloy connections (type 1) is higher than that wfor EC connections (as stated in the article)? Carry out the appropriate test using a significance level of .01. In reaching your conclusion, what type of error might you have committed?

(Note: SAS reports the\(P\)-value for a two-tailed test.)

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ Type }&{}&N&{ Mean }&{ Std Dev }&{ Std Error }\\1&{20}&{17.49900000}&{0.55012821}&{0.12301241}&{}\\2&{20}&{16.90000000}&{0.48998389}&{0.10956373}&{}\\{}&{ Variances }&T&{ DF }&{Prob > |T|}&{}\\{ Unequal }&{3.6362}&{37.5}&{0.0008}&{}&{}\\{}&{ Equal }&{3.6362}&{38.0}&{0.0008}&{}\end{array}\)
