Allowable mechanical properties for structural design of metallic aerospace vehicles requires an approved method for statistically analyzing empirical test data. The article 鈥淓stablishing Mechanical Property Allowables for Metals鈥 (J. of Testing and Evaluation, 1998: 293鈥299) used the accompanying data on tensile ultimate strength (ksi) as a basis for addressing the difficulties in developing such a method.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data by first deleting (truncating) the tenths digit and then repeating each stem value five times (once for leaves 1 and 2, a second time for leaves 3 and 4, etc.). Why is it relatively easy to identify a representative strength value?

b. Construct a histogram using equal-width classes with the first class having a lower limit of 122 and an upper limit of 124. Then comment on any interesting features of the histogram.

The article 鈥淩eliability-Based Service-Life Assessment of Aging Concrete Structures鈥 (J. Structural Engr.,\({\rm{1993: 1600 - 1621}}\)) suggests that a Poisson process can be used to represent the occurrence of structural loads over time. Suppose the mean time between occurrences of loads is\({\rm{.5}}\)year. a. How many loads can be expected to occur during a\({\rm{2}}\)-year period? b. What is the probability that more than five loads occur during a\({\rm{2}}\)-year period? c. How long must a time period be so that the probability of no loads occurring during that period is at most\({\rm{.1}}\)?

The article 鈥淢onte Carlo Simulation鈥擳ool for Better Understanding of LRFD鈥 (J. of Structural Engr., \({\rm{1993: 1586 - 1599}}\)) suggests that yield strength (\({\rm{ksi}}\)) for A36 grade steel is normally distributed with \({\rm{\mu = 43}}\) and \({\rm{\sigma = 4}}{\rm{.5 }}\)

a. What is the probability that yield strength is at most \({\rm{40}}\)? Greater than \({\rm{60}}\)?

b. What yield strength value separates the strongest \({\rm{75\% }}\) from the others?

The accompanying data set consists of observations on shear strength (lb) of ultrasonic spot welds made on a certain type of alclad sheet. Construct a relative frequency histogram based on ten equal-width classes with boundaries 4000, 4200, 鈥. [The histogram will agree with the one in 鈥淐omparison of Properties of Joints Prepared by Ultrasonic Welding and Other Means鈥 (J. of Aircraft, 1983: 552鈥556).] Comment on its features.

b. Calculate the values of the sample mean and median.(Hint:\(\sum {{x_i} = } \)9638.)

c. By how much could the largest time, currently 424, be increased without affecting the value of the sample median? By how much could this value be decreased without affecting the value of the sample median?

d. What are the values of \(\bar x\)and \(\tilde x\), when the observations are re expressed in minutes?
