The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a standard deviation of 110 pounds. A random sample of 90 newly manufactured cables has a mean breaking strength of 1850 pounds. Based on this sample, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of all cables produced by this manufacturer. Then compute the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult...
A producer of steel cables wants to know whether the steel cables it produces have an average breaking strength of 5000 pounds. An average breaking strength of less than 5000 pounds would not be adequate, and to produce steel cables with an average breaking strength in excess of 5000 pounds would unnecessarily increase production costs. The producer collects a random sample of 64 steel cable pieces. What is the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval (two decimal...
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, u, of 1925 pounds, and a standard deviation of 60 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 32 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1940 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the level of significance, the...
Previous experience has shown that the breaking strength of the fabric used in a certain brand of drapes is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 pounds per square inch. A random sample of 25 specimens is examined to reveal an average breaking strength of a 98 pounds per square inch. Determine the p-value required to test the hypothesis that the true mean is not 97 A. 0.067 B. 0.012 C. 0.13 D. 0.006 E. none of the preceding
Previous experience has shown that the breaking strength of the fabric used in a certain brand of drapes is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 pounds per square inch. A random sample of 25 specimens is examined to reveal an average breaking strength of 1 = 98 pounds per square inch. Determine the p-value required to test the hypothesis that the true mean is not 97. A. 0.067 B. 0.012 C. 0.13 D. 0.006 E. none of the...
The Breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, H, of 1750 pounds, and a standard deviation of 65 pounds, It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 100 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1752 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength...
Question 7 The mean breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is required to be more than 100 psi. Past experience has indicated that the standard deviation of breaking strength is 2.9 psi. A random sample of 9 specimens is tested, and the average breaking strength is found to be 100.6 psi. Statistical Tables and Charts (a) Calculate the P-value. Round your answer to 3 decimal places (e.g. 98.765). If a = 0.05, should the fiber be judged...
answer neatly and correctly please! The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, u, of 1850 pounds, and a standard deviation of 55 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 70 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1868 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.01 level of significance, the claim...
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, p, of 1750 pounds, and a standard deviation of 100 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 150 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1760 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength...
4. Multiple Choice Question Previous experience has shown that the breaking strength of the fabric used in a certain brand of drapes is normally distributed with with a mean of 97 pounds per square inch. A random sample of 9 specimens is examined to reveal an average breaking strength of 7 = 98 pounds per square inch and a standard deviation of 2 pounds per square inch are observed. The p-value to test the hypothesis that the true mean is...
