A fishing line manufacturer claims that the new X-25 series has a mean tensile strength ( ) of 25 psi and a standard deviation ( ) of 3 psi. To verify the claim, a ??sample of 25 specimens was tested and yielded the following results:
32 19 27 24 28 29 38 30 25 33 18 25 37 28 20 32 23 21 25 19 23 27 32 26 30
A. Compute the sample median, sample mode, sample mean, sample range, sample variance, average deviation and sample standard deviation. What do you think about the Manufacturer’s claim?

A manufacturer has developed a new fishing line, which the
company claims has a mean breaking strength of 14.5 kilograms with
a standard deviation of 0.8 kilograms. Believing the mean breaking
strength is less than what company has claimed, a customer
protection agency took a random sample of 40 such fishing lines and
found that the mean breaking strength for this sample is 13.2
kilograms. Given the breaking strength of all such lines have a
normal distribution, test whether the...

A manufacturer of sports equipment has developed a new synthetic
fishing line that the company claims has a mean breaking strength
of 7.5 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.7 kilogram. Test
the hypothesis that µ = 7.5 kilograms, against the alternatives:
(a) µ 6= 7.5; (b) µ > 7.5; (b) µ < 7.5. Given that a random
sample of 50 lines is tested and found to have a mean breaking
strength of 7.8 kilograms. Use a 0.01 level of...

A manufacturer of sports equipment has developed a new synthetic
fishing line that the company claims has a mean breaking strength
of 8 kg with a standard deviation of 0.5 kg. To test the claim, a
random sample of 50 lines is tested and found to have a mean
breaking strength of (7.8 kg) and a standard deviation of (0.7 kg).
Could you conclude that the manufacturer claim justified at 0.01
level of significance?( state any assumptions
made)

A sporting goods manufacturer claims that the variance of the
strengths of a certain fishing line spool is 15.9. A random sample
of 15 fishing line spools has a variance of 28. At α = 0.05, is
there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim? Assume
population of this variable is normally distributed.

A marine equipment manufacturer has developed a new hydrophone
line that the company claims has a mean 10 kilogram breaking force
with a standard deviation of 0.5 kilograms. Check the hypothesis
that μ = 8 kilograms is checked against the alternative that μ = 8
kilograms if a 50-line random sample is checked and a mean breaking
force of 7.8 kilograms is observed. Using a 0.05 grade

A certain type of thread is manufactured with a mean tensile
strength is 78.3kg, and a standard deviation is 5.6kg. Assuming
that the strength of this type of thread is distributed
approximately normal, find: a) The probability that the mean
strength of a random sample of 10 such thread falls between 77kg
and 78kg. b) The probability that the mean strength greater than
79kg. c) The probability that the mean strength is less than 76kg.
d) The value of X...

A product developer is investigating the tensile strength of a
new synthetic fiber that will be used
to make cloth for men's shirts. Strength is usually affected by
the percentage of cotton used in the
blend of material for the fiber. The engineer conducts a
completely randomized experiment with
five levels of cotton and replicates the experiment five time.

A food manufacturer claims that their new oat bran
muffin has a population mean calorie content of 250 calories with a
sample standard deviation of 10.1 calories. A government food
researcher believes the manufacturer's claim is too low and decides
to test the manufacturer's claim. A random sample of 25 muffins
yields a sample mean calorie content of 254.9 calories. The food
researcher decides to perform a hypothesis test at
α = 1 % to determine if it is

A certain type of yarn is manufactured under specifications that
the mean tensile strength must be 22 psi. A
random sample of 26 units out of a population of 60 units yields a
mean tensile strength of 20 psi and a standard deviation of 4.8
psi.
Can we conclude from the data that the true mean tensile
strength is less than 22 psi? If the random sample of 26 units were
collected from a large population with the
same mean and standard deviation,...
