Textbook Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 45E
Refer to Exercise 10.21. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean shear strengths for the two soil types.
- a Is the value μ1 − μ2 = 0 inside or outside this interval?
- b Based on the interval, should the null hypothesis discussed in Exercise 10.21 be rejected? Why?
- c How does the conclusion that you reached compare with your conclusion in Exercise 10.21?
10.21 Shear strength measurements derived from unconfined compression tests for two types of soils gave the results shown in the following table (measurements in tons per square foot). Do the soils appear to differ with respect to average shear strength, at the 1% significance level?

The average wind speed in Casper Wyoming has been found to 12.7 miles per hour and in Phoenix Arizona it is 6.2 mph. To test the relationship between the averages, the average wind speed has calculated for a sample of 31 days for each city. The results are reported below. Is there sufficient evidence at alpha = 0.05 to conclude that the average wind speed is greater in Casper or Phoenix ?

- Dars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascai answ (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufacturer. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depernds on you c A. the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two - tailed witha=0.01. PERFORMANCE TASK We make decisions every day. In making decision, we usually follow certain processes and then made an appropriate interpretation or choice. This is the essence when we conduct hypothesis testing to validate our claim and make a better decision in life. As a wise Columbanite, choose a problem in your community that you can use the process of hypothesis testing. Make a scenario out of it using all the data needed in hypothesis testing then cite your claim about this problem.
