Polymer composite materials have gained popularity because they have high strength to weight ratios and are relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture. However, their nondegradable nature has prompted development of environmentally friendly composites using natural materials. An article reported that for a sample of 10 specimens with 2% fiber content, the sample mean tensile strength (MPa) was 51.7 and the sample standard deviation was 1.4. Suppose the true average strength for 0% fibers (pure cellulose) is known to be 48...
Polymer composite materials have gained popularity because they have high strength to weight ratios and are relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture. However, their nondegradable nature has prompted development of environmentally friendly composites using natural materials. An article reported that for a sample of 10 specimens with 2% fiber content, the sample mean tensile strength (MPa) was 51.3 and the sample standard deviation was 1.1.

An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.13 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.83 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 32). Let μ1 and μ2 be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions...
strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during miing) to that o unmodified mortar resulted in x 18.16 kgt/cm2 for the modified mortar (m 42) and y tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified -16.87 kgf/cm2 for the unm dined mortar (n = 30). Let μ1 and», be the true average mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions are both normal. (a) Assuming that σ1 1.6 and σ2-1.3,...
The slant shear test is widely accepted for evaluating the bond of resinous repair materials to concrete; it utilizes cylinder specimens made of two identical halves bonded at 30°. An article reported that for 12 specimens prepared using wire-brushing the sample mean shear strength (N/mm') and sample standard deviation were 19.60 and 1.59, respectively, whereas for 12 hand-chiseled specimens, the corresponding values were 23.13 and 5.09. Does the true average strength appear to be different for the two methods of...

============================================== An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsions have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in 3 = 18.14 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.34 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 32). Let u, and uz be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength...
The slant shear test is widely accepted for evaluating the bond of resinous repair materials to concrete; it utilizes cylinder specimens made of two identical halves bonded at 30°. An article reported that for 11 specimens prepared using wire-brushing, the sample mean shear strength (N/mm2) and sample standard deviation were 18.40 and 1.56, respectively, whereas for 11 hand-chiseled specimens, the corresponding values were 22.15 and 5.04.
