2-1 The breaking strength of a fiber is required to be at least 150 psi. Past experience has indicated that the standard deviation of breaking strength is V = 3 psi. A random sample of four specimens is tested. The results are y1=145, y2=153, y3=150 and y4=147.
(a) State the hypotheses that you think should be tested in this experiment.
H0: P = 150
H1: P > 150
(b) Test these hypotheses using D = 0.05. What are your conclusions?
n = 4, V = 3, y = 1/4 (145 + 153 + 150 + 147) = 148.75

2-6 Consider the shelf life data in Problem 2-5. Can shelf life be described or modeled adequately by a normal distribution? What effect would violation of this assumption have on the test procedure you used in solving Problem 2-5?
A normal probability plot, obtained from Minitab, is shown. There is no reason to doubt the adequacy of the normality assumption. If shelf life is not normally distributed, then the impact of this on the t-test in problem 2-5 is not too serious unless the departure from normality is severe.

2-9 Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0 ounces. The filling processes can be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation of V1 = 0.015 and V2 = 0.018. The quality engineering department suspects that both machines fill to the same net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0 ounces. An experiment is performed by taking a random sample from the output of each machine.

(c) Discuss the role of the normality assumption in this problem. Check the assumption of normality for both types of flares.
The assumption of normality is required in the theoretical development of the t-test. However, moderate departure from normality has little impact on the performance of the t-test. The normality assumption is more important for the test on the equality of the two variances. An indication of nonnormality would be of concern here. The normal probability plots shown below indicate that burning time for both formulations follow the normal distribution.
