Let x represents the sample values.

The symbol \(\sum {} \)shows the summation of a range of values.

Therefore, the values are,

\(\begin{array}{c}\sum {{x_i}} &=& 2.75 + 2.62 + ... + 3.01\\ &=& 56.8\\\sum {x_i^2} &=& {2.75^2} + {2.62^2} + ... + {3.01^2}\\ &=& 197.804\end{array}\)

Therefore, \(\sum {{x_i}} = 56.8\;m{m^2}\) and \(\sum {x_i^2} = 197.804\;m{m^2}\;square\)

03

Compute the sample variance and sample standard deviation

b.

Referring to part a, the values are,

\(\sum {{x_i}} = 56.8\)and\(\sum {x_i^2} = 197.804\)

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 sample variance is computed as,

\(\begin{array}{c}{s^2} &=& \frac{{{S_{xx}}}}{{n - 1}}\\ &=& \frac{{197.804 - \frac{{{{\left( {56.8} \right)}^2}}}{{17}}}}{{17 - 1}}\\ &=& 0.5016\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample variance is 0.5016\(m{m^2}\;square\).

The sample standard deviation is computed as,

\(\begin{array}{c}s &=& \sqrt {{s^2}} \\ &=& \sqrt {0.5016} \\ &=& 0.708\end{array}\)

Therefore, the sample standard deviation is 0.708\(m{m^2}\).

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?

Consider the strength data for beams given in Example

1.2.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data. What appears to be a representative strength value? Do the observations appear to be highly

concentrated about the representative value or rather spread out?

b. Does the display appear to be reasonably symmetric about a representative value, or would you describe its shape in some other way?

c. Do there appear to be any outlying strength values?

d. What proportion of strength observations in this sample exceeds 10 MPa?

Observations on burst strength (lb/in 2) were obtained both for test nozzle closure welds and for production cannister nozzle welds (鈥淧roper Procedures Are the Key to Welding Radioactive Waste Cannisters,鈥
Welding J., Aug. 1997: 61鈥67).

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).

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.

a. Do the initial Se concentrations for the supplementand control samples appear to be similar? Use various techniques from this chapter to summarize thedata and answer the question posed.
b. Again use methods from this chapter to summarizethe data and then describe how the final Se concentration values in the treatment group differ fromthose in the control group.

In a famous experiment carried out in 1882, Michelson,and Newcomb obtained 66 observations on the time it took for light to travel between two locations in Washington, D.C. A few of the measurements(coded in a certain manner) were 31, 23, 32, 36, 22, 26, 27, and 31.

a. Why are these measurements not identical?

b. Is this an enumerative study? Why or why not?
