Automated electron backscattered diffraction is now being used in the study of fracture phenomena. The following information on misorientation angle (degrees) was extracted from the article 鈥淥bservations on the Faceted Initiation Site in the Dwell-Fatigue Tested Ti-6242 Alloy: Crystallographic Orientation and Size Effects鈥 (Metallurgical and Materials Trans., 2006: 1507鈥1518).

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.

Yes, it is true that more than 50% of the sampled angles are smaller than 15掳, as asserted in the paper.

b.

The percentage of the sampled angles that are at least 30 degrees is 0.152.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data for the misorientation angle (degrees) is provided.

02

Check the proportion

The relative frequency table is given as,

a.

Let x represents the sampled angles.

The proportion of the sampled angles that are smaller than 15 degrees is computed as,

\(\begin{aligned}P\left( {x < 15} \right) &= P\left( {0 - 5} \right) + P\left( {5 - 10} \right) + P\left( {10 - 15} \right)\\ &= 0.177 + 0.166 + 0.175\\ &= 0.518\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the percentage of the sampled angles that are smaller than 15 degrees is 51.8% which is more than 50%.

Yes, it is true that more than 50% of the sampled angles are smaller than 15掳, as asserted in the paper.

03

Given information

The data for the misorientation angle (degrees) is provided.

04

Compute the proportion

The relative frequency table is given as,

0.030

b.

Let x represents the sampled angles.

The proportion of the sampled angles that are atleast 30 degrees is computed as,

\(\begin{aligned}P\left( {x \ge 30} \right) &= P\left( {30 - 40} \right) + P\left( {40 - 60} \right) + P\left( {60 - 90} \right)\\ &= 0.078 + 0.044 + 0.030\\ &= 0.152\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the percentage of the sampled angles that are at least 30 degrees is 0.152.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data. How does it suggest that the sample mean and median will compare?

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?

Every corporation has a governing board of directors. The number of individuals on a board varies from one corporation to another. One of the authors of the article 鈥淒oes Optimal Corporate Board Size Exist? An Empirical Analysis鈥 (J. of Applied Finance, 2010: 57鈥69) provided the accompanying data on the number of directors on each board in a random sample of 204 corporations.

No. directors: 4 5 6 7 8 9

Frequency: 3 12 13 25 24 42

No. directors: 10 11 12 13 14 15

Frequency: 23 19 16 11 5 4

No. directors: 16 17 21 24 32

Frequency: 1 3 1 1 1

a. Construct a histogram of the data based on relative frequencies and comment on any interesting features.

b. Construct a frequency distribution in which the last row includes all boards with at least 18 directors. If this distribution had appeared in the cited article, would you be able to draw a histogram? Explain.

c. What proportion of these corporations have at most 10 directors?

d. What proportion of these corporations have more than 15 directors?

A deficiency of the trace element selenium in the diet can negatively impact growth, immunity, muscle and neuromuscular function, and fertility. The introduction of selenium supplements to dairy cows is justified when pastures have low selenium levels. Authors of the article 鈥淓ffects of Short Term Supplementation with Selenised Yeast on Milk Production and Composition of Lactating Cows鈥 (Australian J. of Dairy Tech., 2004: 199鈥203) supplied the following data on milk selenium concentration (mg/L) for a sample of cows given a selenium supplement and a control sample given no supplement, both initially and after a 9-day period.
