Finding the t critical values using t tables
Determine the critical value of t in each of the following a) 1-a.95,n 10 b) 1-α=.99,...
The U.S. Department of Transportation requires tire manufacturers to provide tire performance on the sidewall of the tire to better inform prospective customers when making a purchase.One very important measure of tire performance is the tread wear index, which indicates the tire's resistance to tread wear compared with a tire graded with a base of 100. This means that a tire with a grade of 200 should last twice as long, on average, as a tired graded with a base...
A consumer organization wants to estimate the actual tread wear index of a brand name of tires that claims "graded 250" on the sidewall of the tire. A random sa of n -22 indicates a sample mean tread wear index of 242.2 and a sample standard deviation of 21.7 Complete parts (o) through (c) a. Assuming that the population of tread wear indexes is normally distributed, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate mple of the population mean tread wear in...
Will rate, thank you in advance. A consumer organization wants to estimate the actual tread wear index of a brand name of tires that claims "graded 250" on the sidewall of the tire. A random sample of n=23 indicates a sample mean tread wear index of 238.1 and a sample standard deviation of 20.7. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. Assuming that the population of tread wear indexes is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population...

Showrooming is the practice of inspecting products in retail stores and then purchasing the products online at a lower price. A random sample of 121 shoppers who recently purchased a consumer electronics item...
Warranty for Alpha Tires 1. Introduction Alpha Tire Company wishes to offer a warranty for their tires. In order to perform an assessment of the tires' durability, a sample of 41 newly manufactured tires is selected at random. The mileage at which each tire will fail needs to be determined. Rather than driving the tires around for months until they fail naturally (field test), the tires are installed on a special machine that simulates wear and tear (lab test). The...
Question 3 (4 marks) Part a) Given the following information X-500, σ=12, n=50 i) Determine the 95% confidence interval estimate of population mean. ii) Determine the 99% o confidence interval estimate of population mean Part b) A statistics practitioner calculated the mean and standard deviation from a sample of 51. They are X-120 and s-15. (i) Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence level (ii) Estimate the population mean with 99% confidence level.
The quality control manager of a tire company wishes to estimate the tensile strength of a standard size of rubber used to make a class of radial tires. A random sample of 50 pieces of rubber from different production batches is subjected to a stress test. The test measures the force needed to break the rubber in pounds. According to the sample results, the average pressure is 173 pounds. The podulation variance Is known to be 1225 pounds2. Construct a...

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past studies of this tire, the standard deviation is known to be 8,000. A survey of owners of that tire design is conducted. Of the 32 tires surveyed, the mean lifespan was 46,600 miles with a standard deviation of 9,800 miles. Using alpha = 0.05, is the data highly consistent with the claim? Note: If you are using...
