Example 1 Medical researchers have developed a new artificial heart constructed primarily of titanium and plastic. The heart will last and operate almost indefinitely once it is implanted in the patients body, but the battery pack needs to be recharged about every four hours. A random sample of 50 battery packs is selected and subjected to a life test. Assume that battery life is normally distributed with standard deviation of 0.2 hour. Is there evidence to support the claim that mean battery life exceeds 4 hours? Use α= 0.05.

Example 2 Cloud seeding has been studied for many decades as a weather modification procedure. The rainfall in acre-feet from 10 clouds that were selected at random and seeded with silver nitrate follows: 18.0, 30.7, 19.8, 27.1, 22.3, 18.8, 31.8, 23.4, 21.2, and 27.9. Can you support a claim that mean rainfall from seeded clouds exceeds 25 acre-feet? Use α= 0.01.

Example 3 The sugar content of the syrup in canned peaches is normally distributed, and the variance is thought to be σ2 = 18 (mg)2. Test the hypothesis that the variance is not 18 (mg)2 . Use a significance level α= 0.1.

Example 4 Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0 ounces. The fill volume can be assumed to be normally distributed. A member of the quality engineering staff suspects that both machines fill to the same mean net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0 ounces. A random sample of 10 bottles is taken from the output of each machine.

Do you think the engineer is correct? Use α= 0.05.

Example 5 Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. Concentrations for 10 batches from the first supplier and 16 batches from the second supplier were recorded. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two population variances differ? Use α= 0.05.

One Way ANOVA

Example In Design and Analysis of Experiments, 8th edition (John Wiley & Sons, 2012), D. C. Montgomery described an experiment in which the tensile strength of a synthetic fiber was of interest to the manufacturer. It is suspected that strength is related to the percentage of cotton in the fiber. Three levels of cotton percentage were used, and five replicates were run in random order, resulting in the following data.

Does cotton percentage affect breaking strength?
