Fretting is a wear process that results from tangential oscillatory movements of small amplitude in machine parts. The article 鈥淕rease Effect on Fretting Wear of Mild Steel鈥 (Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2008: 67鈥78) included the following data on volume wear (1024 mm3 ) for base oils having four different viscosities.

Viscosity Wear
20.4 58.8 30.8 27.3 29.9 17.7 76.5
30.2 44.5 47.1 48.7 41.6 32.8 18.3

a. The sample coefficient of variation 100s/x-bar assesses the extent of variability relative to the mean (specifically, the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean). Calculate the coefficient of variation for the
sample at each viscosity. Then compare the results and comment.
b. Construct a comparative boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display using the thousandsdigit as the stem and the hundreds digit as theleaf, and comment on the various features of thedisplay.

b. Construct a histogram using class boundaries 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000. What proportion of subdivisions have a total length less than 2000? Between 2000 and 4000? How would you describe the shape of the histogram?

Two airplanes are flying in the same direction in adjacent parallel corridors. At time \({\rm{t = 10}}\), the first airplane is \({\rm{10}}\)km ahead of the second one. Suppose the speed of the first plane (km/hr.) is normally distributed with mean \({\rm{520\;}}\)and standard deviation \({\rm{10}}\) and the second plane鈥檚 speed is also normally distributed with mean and standard deviation \({\rm{500\; and\; 10}}\), respectively.

a. What is the probability that after \({\rm{2hr}}{\rm{. }}\)of flying, the second plane has not caught up to the first plane?

b. Determine the probability that the planes are separated by at most \({\rm{10km\; after\; 2hr}}{\rm{. }}\)

The article 鈥淪now Cover and Temperature Relationships in North America and Eurasia鈥 (J. Climate and Applied Meteorology, 1983: 460鈥469) used statistical techniques to relate the amount of snow cover on each continent to average continental temperature. Data presented there included the following ten observations on October snow cover for Eurasia during the years 1970鈥1979 (in million\({\bf{k}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)):

6.5 12.0 14.9 10.0 10.7 7.9 21.9 12.5 14.5 9.2

What would you report as a representative, or typical, value of October snow cover for this period, and what prompted your choice?
