The value of Young鈥檚 modulus (GPa) was determined forcast plates consisting of certain intermetallic substrates,resulting in the following sample observations (鈥淪trengthand Modulus of a Molybdenum-Coated Ti-25Al-10Nb-3U-1Mo Intermetallic,鈥 J. of Materials Engr.and Performance, 1997: 46鈥50):

116.4 115.9 114.6 115.2 115.8

  1. Calculate\({\bf{\bar x}}\) and the deviations from the mean.
  2. Use the deviations calculated in part (a) to obtain the sample variance and the sample standard deviation.
  3. Calculate\({{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)by using the computational formula for the numerator \({S_{xx}}\).
  4. Subtract 100 from each observation to obtain a sample of transformed values. Now calculate the sample variance of these transformed values, and compare it to\({{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\)for the original data.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The following sample observations are provided for young鈥檚 modulus in units of GPa.

116.4

115.9

114.6

115.2

115.8

02

Compute the sample mean

a.

Let x represents the sample values.

The sample mean is computed as,

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar x &=& \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{116.4 + 115.9 + 114.6 + 115.2 + 115.8}}{5}\\ &=& \frac{{577.9}}{5}\\ \approx 115.58\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample mean is 115.58GPa.

03

Compute the deviations from the mean

The deviations are computed by subtracting the mean value from each observation.

Mathematically,\({{\bf{d}}_{\bf{i}}}{\bf{ = }}\left( {{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{i}}}{\bf{ - \bar x}}} \right)\)

The table representing the deviations is as follows,

\({x_i}\)

\({x_i} - \bar x\)

116.4

04

Compute the sample variance

b.

The sample variance is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{\sum {{d_i}^2} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{{S_{xx}}}}{{n - 1}}\end{array}\)

The calculations are represented as,

Substituting the values in the formula, we have,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{1.928}}{{5 - 1}}\\ &=& 0.482\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample variance for the provided data is 0.482GPa square.

05

Compute the sample standard deviation

The sample standard deviation is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s &=& \sqrt {{s^2}} \\ &=& \sqrt {0.482} \\ &=& 0.694\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample standard deviation for the provided data is 0.694GPa.

06

Compute the sample variance

c.

The sample variance is given as,

\({s^2} = \frac{{{S_{xx}}}}{{n - 1}}\)

Where,

\({S_{xx}} = \sum {x_i^2} - \frac{{{{\left( {\sum {{x_i}} } \right)}^2}}}{n}\)

The calculations to compute the variance are as follows,

Substituting the values,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{{S_{xx}}}}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{66795.61 - \frac{{{{\left( {577.9} \right)}^2}}}{5}}}{{5 - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{1.928}}{4}\\ &=& 0.482\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample variance is 0.482GPa square.

\(\begin{array}{c}\bar x &=& \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n}\\ &=& \frac{{16.4 + 15.9 + 14.6 + 15.2 + 15.8}}{5}\\ \approx 15.58\end{array}\)

Thus, the sample mean is 15.58.

The sample variance is given as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{{S_{xx}}}}{{n - 1}}\end{array}\)

1.928

Substituting the values, we have,

The sample variance is,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{1.928}}{{5 - 1}}\\ &=& 0.482\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample variance is 0.482.

It can be observed that the sample variance of the transformed data is the same as the sample variance of the original data. This implies that the variance is independent of the change of origin.

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests in a variety of securities. Growth funds focus primarily on increasing the value of investments, whereas blended funds seek a balance between current income and growth. Here is data on the expense ratio (expenses as a % of assets, from www .morningstar.com) for samples of 20 large-cap balanced

funds and 20 large-cap growth funds (鈥渓argecap鈥 refers to the sizes of companies in which the funds invest; the population sizes are 825 and 762,

  2. Suppose the blood pressure of the second individual is 127.6 rather than 127.4 (a small change in a single value). How does this affect the median of the reported values? What does this say about the sensitivity of the median to rounding or grouping in the data?

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.
