Refer to Exercise 25. Suppose we decide to examine another test spot weld. Let X = shear strength of the weld. Use the given data to obtain the mle of P(X ≤ 400). [Hint:

Reference Exercise 25

The shear strength of each of ten test spot welds is determined, yielding the following data (psi):

a. Assuming that shear strength is normally distributed, estimate the true average shear strength and standard deviation of shear strength using the method of maximum likelihood.

b. Again assuming a normal distribution, estimate the strength value below which 95% of all welds will have their strengths. [Hint: What is the 95th percentile in terms of μ and σ? Now use the invariance principle.]
