The diameter of steel rods manufactured on two different extrusion machines is being investigated. Two random samples of sizes n1 = 15 and n2 = 17 are selected, and the sample means and sample variances are x bar 1 = 8.73, Variance 1 = 0.35, x bar 2 = 8.68 and Variance 2 = 0.40, respectively. Assume that there are equal variance and that the data are drawn from a normal distribution. (a) Is there evidence to support the claim that the two machines produce rods with different mean diameters? Use a Pvale in arriving at this conclusion. (b) Construct a 95% CI for the difference in mean rod diameter. Interpret this interval.

A consumer organization collected data on two types of automobile batteries, A and B. The summary statistics for 12 observations of each type are x bar A = 36.51, x bar B =34.21,SD A = 1.43, and SD B = 0.93. Assume that the data are normally distributed with (a) Is there evidence to support the claim that type A battery mean life exceeds that of type B? Use the P-value in answering this question. (b) Construct a one-sided 99% confidence bound for the difference in mean battery life. Explain how this interval confirms your finding in part (a). (c) Suppose that if the mean life of type A batteries exceeds that of type B by as much as 2 months, it is important to detect this difference with probability at least 0.95 when = 0.01. Is the choice of n1 = n2 = 12 of this problem adequate?

Two random samples, each of size 300, are selected, and 15 defective parts are found in the sample from machine 1 whereas 8 defective parts are found in the sample from machine 2. Is it reasonable to conclude that both machines produce the same fraction of defective parts, using = 0.05? Find the P-value for this test. .Consider the situation described in Exercise 5-60. Suppose that p1 = 0.05 and p2 = 0.01. (a) With the sample sizes given here, what is the power of the test for this two-sided alternative?
