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,

\({x_i}\)

\({x_i} - \bar x\)

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,

Therefore, the sample variance is 0.482GPa square.

Thus, the sample mean is 15.58.

The sample variance is given as,

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

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.

Construct a comparative boxplot and comment on interesting features (the cited article did not include such a picture, but the authors commented that they had looked
at one).

The article 鈥淓ffects of Short-Term Warming on Low and High Latitude Forest Ant Communities鈥 (Ecoshpere, May 2011, Article 62) described an experiment in which observations on various characteristics were made using mini chambers of three different types: (1) cooler (PVC

frames covered with shade cloth), (2) control (PVC frames only), and (3) warmer (PVC frames covered with plastic).One of the article鈥檚 authors kindly supplied the accompanying data on the difference between air and soil temperatures(掳C).

b. Calculate, interpret, and compare the standard deviations for the three different samples.

c. Do the fourth spreads for the three samples convey the same message as do the standard deviations about relative variability?

There is no nice formula for the standard normal cdf\({\rm{\Phi (z)}}\), but several good approximations have been published in articles. The following is from "Approximations for Hand Calculators Using Small Integer Coefficients" (Mathematics of Computation, 1977: 214-222). For \({\rm{0 < z}} \le {\rm{5}}{\rm{.5}}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{\rm{P(Z}} \ge {\rm{z) = 1 - \Phi (z)}}\\ \Leftrightarrow {\rm{.5exp}}\left\{ {{\rm{ - }}\left( {\frac{{{\rm{(83z + 351)z + 562}}}}{{{\rm{703/z + 165}}}}} \right)} \right\}\end{array}\)

The relative error of this approximation is less than \({\rm{.042\% }}\). Use this to calculate approximations to the following probabilities, and compare whenever possible to the probabilities obtained from Appendix Table A.3.

a. \({\rm{P(Z}} \ge {\rm{1)}}\)

b. \({\rm{P(Z < - 3)}}\)

c. \({\rm{P( - 4 < Z < 4)}}\)

d. \({\rm{P(Z > 5)}}\)

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\({\rm{.1}}\)?
