@Aircrew escape systems are powered by a solid propellant. The buming rate of this
prop€llant is an important product characteristic. Specifications require that the mean
buming rate must be 50 cnr./s. We know that the standad deviation of buming rate is 2
cm./s. significance level of 0.05 and. The selected random sample size n:
25 and
obtained sample average buming rate of X-= 51.3 cm/s. What conclusions should be
drawn?
(g) Test the hypothesis Ho: p = 50 versus Ha: p # 50 using o :0.01
(!)Test the hlpothesis Ho: p = 50 versus Ha: p I 50 using a : 0.05

@ The diameter ofa concrete pipes manufactured for a waste line is known to have a
:
normal distribution with o 0.1 cm. A random sample of size 8 yields an average
diameter of 30 cm.

a) Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean pipe diameter.

b) Ifthe bound of error in estimation E is one-half of the length of95% CL, find
the value of samole size? (20 marks)
