Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5 °C using α = 0.05.arrow_forwardA random sample of 50 students was asked to estimate how much money they spent on textbooks in a year. The sample skewness of these amounts was found to be 0.83 and the sample kurtosis was 3.98.

Refer to the Journal of Applied Physics investigation of throughput jitter in the opening switch of a prototype water power system, Exercise 6.1020. Recall that low throughput jitter is critical to successful waterline technology. An analysis of conduction time for a sample of 18 trials of the prototype system yielded ī = 334.8 nanoseconds and s = 6.3 nanoseconds. (Conduction time is defined as the length of time required for the downstream current to equal 10% of the upstream current.) A system is considered to have low throughput jitter if the true conduction time standard deviation is less than 7 nanoseconds. Does the prototype system satisfy this requirement?

It occurs above approximately 50 meters per second, when the pressure drops off sufficiently to allow the water to dissociate into water vapor forming a gas bubble behind the vehicle. When the gas bubble completely encloses the vehicle, supercavitation is said to occur. Eight (n = 8) tests were conducted on a scale model of an undersea vehicle in a towing basin with the average observed speed I = 102.2 meters per second. Assume that speed is normally distributed with o = 4 meters per second. Use a = 0.05. (a) Test Ho : µ = 100 versus Hj : u < 100.
