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 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,...
