An experiment to investigate the survival time in hours of an electronic component consists of placing the parts in a test cell and running them under elevated temperature conditions. Six samples were tested with the following resulting failure times (in hours): 34, 40, 46, 49, 61, 64. (a)Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the failure time. (b)Determine the range of the true mean at 90% confidence level. (c)If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (90% confidence level) of its failure time

a) The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b) The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

c) The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Sample mean:

Sample standard deviation:

The sample mean is of 49 and the sample standard deviation is of 11.7.

b)Determine the range of the true mean at 90% confidence level.

We have to find the margin of error of the confidence interval. Since we have the standard deviation for the sample, the t-distribution is used.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.0.150

The margin of error is:

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. So

The range of the true mean at 90% confidence level is of 9.62 hours.

(c)If a seventh sample is tested, what is the prediction interval (90% confidence level) of its failure time.

This is the confidence interval, so:

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 49 - 9.62 = 39.38 hours.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 49 + 9.62 = 58.62 hours.

The prediction interval, at a 90% confidence level, of it's failure time is between 39.38 hours and 58.62 hours.

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
