A materials engineer at a furniture manufacturing site wants to assess the stiffness of the particle board that the manufacturer uses. The engineer collects stiffness data from particle board pieces that have various densities at different temperatures. Data are found in the file Particle Board Stiffness.

What hypothesis should be run to determine if there is a significant association between stiffness and temperature?
Run the appropriate test is Minitab and show the Minitab output.
State your conclusions about the strength of this relationship if we use a 5% level of significance.
Are these conclusions supported by the R² value for this relationship? Explain.

Expert Solution

Minitab output,

Welcome to Minitab, press F1 for help.

MTB > Correlation 'Stiffness' 'Temp'.

Correlation: Stiffness, Temp

Pearson correlation of Stiffness and Temp = -0.001
P-Value = 0.995

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

a)
The hypothesis to determine if there is a significant association between stiffness and temperature is,
Ho : There is no significant association between stiffness and temperature.
Ha : There is a significant association between stiffness and temperature.
b)
We use correlation test in Minitab,(see output of the test above)
c)
From minitab output, Observe that correlation of Stiffness and Temp = -0.001.
The P-value = 0.995 > alpha = 0.05, idicates that there is no significant association between stiffness and temperature.
d) yes these conclusions supported by the R2 value for this relationship because,
R2 = - 0.0001 which is nearly equal to 0 means there is no correlation.

A particle of mass 1 is attached to a spring dashpot mechanism. The stiffness constant of the spring is 3 N/m and the drag force exerted on the particle by the dashpot mechanism is 4 times its velocity. At time t=0, the particle is stretched 1/4 m from its equilibrium position. At time t=3 seconds, an impulsive force of very short duration is applied to the system. This force imparts an impulse of 2 N*s to the particle. Find the...

Use the same data set for particle board stiffness as in question 2 e) Are the assumptions satisfied? Provide appropriate plots to prove it and comment what the plots show you. f) Calculate a 95% confidence on the slop of the regression line and interpret what it means. g) Obtain from Excel a 95% confidence interval on the average stiffness at a density of 8.5 and explain what the interval means. h) Obtain from Excel a 95% prediction interval on...

You are the lead engineer at a bioremediation field site that is contaminated with 330 mg/L PCE, which has a molecular formula of C2Cl4. The other available electron acceptors are: oxygen at 8 mg/L, nitrate (NO3-) at 600 mg/L, Fe(OH)3 at 600 mmol/L, and sulfate (SO42-) at 250 mg/L. When these are reduced they become: water, NH4+, Fe2+, and S2-, respectively. PCE must be reduced completely to ethene (C2H4) or the local community group will protest. However, all of the...

A furniture company buys a forest to obtain wood for manufacturing furniture. The related costs to the forest are: Cost of buying the forest = $730,000,000 Wood expected to be extracted = 400,000 ton Cost of restoration of the forest = $120,000,000 Residual/salvage value = $233,000,000 Trees cut in year 1 = 107,000 tons Trees cut in year 2 = 89,000 tons Compute the depletion rate and depletion charge for the first 2 years.
