Chapter 5: Q46E (page 236)

Young鈥檚 modulus is a quantitative measure of stiffness of an elastic material. Suppose that for aluminum alloy sheets of a particular type, its mean value and standard deviation are \({\rm{70 GPa}}\) and \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.6 GPa}}\), respectively (values given in the article 鈥淚nfluence of Material Properties Variability on Springback and Thinning in Sheet Stamping Processes: A Stochastic Analysis鈥� (Intl. J. of Advanced Manuf. Tech., \({\rm{2010:117 - 134}}\))).

  1. If \({\rm{\bar X}}\) is the sample mean young鈥檚 modulus for a random sample of \({\rm{n = 16}}\)sheets, where is the sampling distribution of \({\rm{\bar X}}\)centered, and what is the standard deviation of the \({\rm{\bar X}}\)distribution?
  2. Answer the questions posed in part (a) for a sample size of \({\rm{n = 64}}\)sheets.
  3. For which of the two random samples, the one of part (a) or the one of part (b), is \({\rm{\bar X}}\) more likely to be within \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{70 GPa}}\)? Explain your reasoning.

a. \(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.4GPa}}}\end{array}\)

b. \(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2GPa}}}\end{array}\)

c. Part (b) \({\rm{n = 64}}\) is more likely.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of young’s modulus

Young's Modulus (also known as Elastic Modulus or Tensile Modulus) is a mechanical property of linear elastic solids such as rods, wires, and other similar objects. Other quantities, such as Bulk modulus and shear modulus, can be used to determine a material's elastic properties, but Young's Modulus is the most widely utilised.

02

Calculating the standard deviation of the \({\rm{\bar X}}\) distribution

Given:

\(\begin{aligned}&{{\rm{\mu = 70GPa}}}\\&{{\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.6GPa}}}\\&{{\rm{n = 16}}}\end{aligned}\)

The sample mean's sampling distribution has a mean of \({\rm{\mu }}\) and a standard deviation of \(\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}\)

\(\begin{aligned}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = \mu = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.6GPa}}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{16}}} }}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.4GPa}}}\end{aligned}\)

03

Calculating the part (a) for a sample size of \({\rm{n = 64}}\) sheets. 

Given:

\({\rm{\mu = 70GPa}}\)

\({\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.6GPa}}\)

\({\rm{n = 64}}\)

The sample mean's sampling distribution has a mean of \({\rm{\mu }}\) and a standard deviation of \(\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}\)

\(\begin{aligned}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = \mu = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\sqrt {\rm{n}} }}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{1}}{\rm{.6GPa}}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm{64}}} }}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2GPa}}}\end{aligned}\)

04

Calculating For which of the two random samples, the one of part (a) or the one of part (b), is \({\rm{\bar X}}\) more likely to be within \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{70GPa}}\)

Given:

\({\rm{\mu = 70GPa}}\)

\({\rm{\sigma = 1}}{\rm{.6GPa}}\)

Result part (a):

\(\begin{aligned}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.4GPa}}}\end{aligned}\)

Result part (b):

\(\begin{aligned}&{{{\rm{\mu }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 70GPa}}}\\&{{{\rm{\sigma }}_{{\rm{\bar x}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.2GPa}}}\end{aligned}\)

Portion (a) has \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{2}}{\rm{.5}}\) standard deviations, while part (b) has \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of \({\rm{5}}\) standard deviations (b).

If \({\rm{\bar X}}\) has higher standard deviations, it is more likely to be within \({\rm{1GPa}}\) of the mean \({\rm{70GPa}}\), and so it is more likely for part (b).

Note that a smaller standard deviation indicates a narrower distribution, which means that data values are more likely to be closer to the mean.

Two components of a minicomputer have the following joint pdf for their useful lifetimes \({\rm{X}}\)and \({\rm{Y}}\)

a. What is the probability that the lifetime \({\rm{X}}\) of the first component exceeds \({\rm{3}}\)?

b. What are the marginal pdf鈥檚 of \({\rm{X}}\)and \({\rm{Y}}\)? Are the two lifetimes independent? Explain.

c. What is the probability that the lifetime of at least one component exceeds\({\rm{3}}\)?

The lifetime of a certain type of battery is normally distributed with mean value \({\rm{10}}\)hours and standard deviation \({\rm{1}}\)hour. There are four batteries in a package. What lifetime value is such that the total lifetime of all batteries in a package exceeds that value for only \({\rm{5\% }}\)of all packages?

The manufacture of a certain component requires three different machining operations. Machining time for each operation has a normal distribution, and the three times are independent of one another. The mean values are\(15,\;30,\;20\)min, respectively, and the standard deviations are\(1,\;2,\;1.5\)min, respectively. What is the probability that it takes at most\(1\)hour of machining time to produce a randomly selected component?

Suppose the distribution of the time X (in hours) spent by students at a certain university on a particular project is gamma with parameters \(\alpha = 50\)and\(\beta = 2\). Because a is large, it can be shown that X has an approximately normal distribution. Use this fact to compute the approximate probability that a randomly selected student spends at most \(125\) hours on the project.

Return to the situation described in Exercise \({\rm{3}}\).

a. Determine the marginal pmf of \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}\), and then calculate the expected number of customers in line at the express checkout.

b. Determine the marginal pmf of \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\).

c. By inspection of the probabilities \({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 4),P(}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0),}}\) and \({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 4,}}{{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0),}}\) are \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{1}}}\) and \({{\rm{X}}_{\rm{2}}}\) independent random variables? Explain
