Question 1

A Concrete Producer claims that his average concrete strength is more than 30 N/m2 to
test these hypothesis 8 samples were tested. The results are enclosed in the first
column of the table below. Check the validity of his claim at 0.05 level of significance.
Also determine the 95% limits for the mean.
Producer1
33.6
28.1
26.4
25.3
23.7
33.0
27.0
29.7

Producer 2
33.7
30.4
31.0
12.3
26.0
17.8
36.5

If another manufacturer claim his pump is superior to pump 1. Check the validity of his
claim at the same level of significance.

Q2

x1 and x2 represent operating costs () between two different types of

engines. Based on independent random samples for each type of engine we
have:
n1 = 8

n2 = 12

x1 = 156.96

x2 = 152.73

s1 = 4.85

s2 = 6.35

Assuming Equal Variance check the validity of Equal Performance at

95% confidence level ?.
Q3
A manufacturing treatment mixtures was tested on 20 products each. The
standard deviations of treatments 1 and 2 are 2.13 and 1.96, respectively. Is
there a significant difference between treatments at the 95 % confidence level?

Check Manufacturer 1 Claim that his bars strength is greater than 250
n/mm2.
Check Manufacturer 2 Claim that his quality control is as good as
Manufacturer 1.
Check Manufacturer 2 Claim that his bar strength is equal to Manufacturer
1.
Would the result change if the confidence level was increase to 99%?

Q5

To test two waterproofers the leaching of water was measured at 6 different

temperatures as follows.
Temperature
15 20 25 30 35 40
Waterproofer A 0.94 0.97 0.99 1.01 1.08 1.13
Waterproofer B 0.94 0.95 0.96 1.04 1.11 1.12
1) Check the manufacturer of A claim that the leakage is less than 1.
2) Check the manufacturer of A claim that it is better than B.
3) Is the variance of waterproofer A and B equal?
