A crayon manufacturer is comparing the effects of two kinds of yellow dye on the brittleness of crayons. Dye B is more expensive than dye A, but it is thought that it might produce a stronger crayon. Four crayons are tested with each kind of dye, and the impact strength (in joules) is measured for each. The results are as follows:
Dye A: 1.0 2.0 1.2 3.0
Dye B: 3.0 3.2 2.6 3.4
- a. Can you conclude that the
mean strength of crayons made with dye B is greater than that of crayons made with dye A? - b. Can you conclude that the mean strength of crayons made with dye B exceeds that of crayons made with dye A by more than 1 J?

They tested how fast they couldset the drilling machine by running 10 boards at each oftwo different speeds. To assess the results, they measuredthe distance (in inches) from the center of a target on theboard to the center of the hole. The data and summarystatistics are shown in the table: Write a report summarizing the findings of the experi-ment. Include appropriate visual and verbal displays of the distributions, and make a recommendation to theengineers if they are most interested in the accuracy ofthe method.arrow_forwardft.

Five randomly selected subjects were pre-tested, and then they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The Cholesterol level before and after taking the mineral supplements is shown in the table below. (Cholesterol level is measured in milligrams per deciliter). Table is attached Questions: If X1 is a normal variate with mean 2 and standard deviation 4 and X2 is a normal variate with mean 3 and standard deviation 9, then find E[X1 - 2X2] and Var(X1 - 2X2) The confidence level can be viewed as the amount of risk that an analyst will accept when making a decision (State True or False) You find a 90% confidence interval for true average thiamin content in oats for a given sample as (2.4,7.8) and you interpret the confidence interval as: I can be highly confident that 90% of the oats in the sample will have thiamin content between 2.4 and 7.8 (State True or…arrow_forwardWhat is the measure of D / C ?arrow_forward
