Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-removing fluids are

ID: 3316543 • Letter: M

Question

Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-removing fluids are used in machining operations to cool and lubricate the tool and workpiece. Mist generation is a concern to OSHA, which has recently lowered substantially the workplace standard. An article gave the accompanying data on x = fluid-flow velocity for a 5% soluble oil (cm/sec) and y = the extent of mist droplets having diameters smaller than 10 µm (mg/m3):

(a) The investigators performed a simple linear regression analysis to relate the two variables. Does a scatter plot of the data support this strategy?

Yes, a scatter plot shows a reasonable linear relationship. [Correct]

No, a scatter plot does not show a reasonable linear relationship.  


(b) What proportion of observed variation in mist can be attributed to the simple linear regression relationship between velocity and mist? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

____________

(c) The investigators were particularly interested in the impact on mist of increasing velocity from 100 to 1000 (a factor of 10 corresponding to the difference between the smallest and largest x values in the sample). When x increases in this way, is there substantial evidence that the true average increase in y is less than 0.6? (Use = 0.05.)
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: 1 = 0.0006667
Ha: 1 > 0.0006667H0: 1 0.0006667
Ha: 1 = 0.0006667    H0: 1 = 0.0006667
Ha: 1 < 0.0006667H0: 1 = 0.0006667
Ha: 1 0.0006667 [Correct]


Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

(d) Estimate the true average change in mist associated with a 1 cm/sec increase in velocity, and do so in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. (Calculate a 95% CI. Round your answers to six decimal places.)

Yes, a scatter plot shows a reasonable linear relationship
b.proportion of observed variation in mist can be attributed to the simple linear regression relationship between velocity and mist

calculation procedure for regression

mean of X = X / n = 367.7143

mean of Y = Y / n = 0.62

(Xi - Mean)^2 = 508631.428

(Yi - Mean)^2 = 0.18

(Xi-Mean)*(Yi-Mean) = 286.819

b1 = (Xi-Mean)*(Yi-Mean) / (Xi - Mean)^2

= 286.819 / 508631.428

= 0.001

bo = Y / n - b1 * X / n

bo = 0.62 - 0.001*367.7143 = 0.413

value of regression equation is, Y = bo + b1 X

Y'=0.413+0.001* X

c.

Given that,

mean(x)=367.7143

standard deviation , s.d1=291.1562

number(n1)=7

y(mean)=0.62

standard deviation, s.d2 =0.174

number(n2)=7

null, Ho: u1 = u2

alternate, H1: u1 != u2

level of significance, = 0.05

from standard normal table, two tailed t /2 =2.447

since our test is two-tailed

reject Ho, if to < -2.447 OR if to > 2.447

we use test statistic (t) = (x-y)/sqrt(s.d1^2/n1)+(s.d2^2/n2)

to =367.7143-0.62/sqrt((84771.9328/7)+(0.03028/7))

to =3.336

| to | =3.336

critical value

the value of |t | with min (n1-1, n2-1) i.e 6 d.f is 2.447

we got |to| = 3.3358 & | t | = 2.447

make decision

hence value of | to | > | t | and here we reject Ho

p-value: two tailed ( double the one tail ) - Ha : ( p != 3.3358 ) = 0.016

hence value of p0.05 > 0.016,here we reject Ho

ANSWERS

---------------

null, Ho: u1 = u2

alternate, H1: u1 != u2

H0: 1 = 0.0006667

Ha: 1 0.0006667

test statistic: 3.336

critical value: -2.447 , 2.447

decision: reject Ho

p-value: 0.016

we have enough evidence to support the claim

TRADITIONAL METHOD

given that,

mean(x)=367.7143

standard deviation , s.d1=291.1562

number(n1)=7

y(mean)=0.62

standard deviation, s.d2 =0.174

number(n2)=7

I.

stanadard error = sqrt(s.d1^2/n1)+(s.d2^2/n2)

where,

sd1, sd2 = standard deviation of both

n1, n2 = sample size

stanadard error = sqrt((84771.932798/7)+(0.030276/7))

= 110.046719

II.

margin of error = t a/2 * (stanadard error)

where,

t a/2 = t -table value

level of significance, =

from standard normal table, two tailedand

value of |t | with min (n1-1, n2-1) i.e 6 d.f is 2.446912

margin of error = 2.447 * 110.046719

= 269.284322

III.

CI = (x1-x2) ± margin of error

confidence interval = [ (367.7143-0.62) ± 269.284322 ]

= [97.809978 , 636.378622]

DIRECT METHOD

given that,

mean(x)=367.7143

standard deviation , s.d1=291.1562

sample size, n1=7

y(mean)=0.62

standard deviation, s.d2 =0.174

sample size,n2 =7

CI = x1 - x2 ± t a/2 * Sqrt ( sd1 ^2 / n1 + sd2 ^2 /n2 )

where,

x1,x2 = mean of populations

sd1,sd2 = standard deviations

n1,n2 = size of both

a = 1 - (confidence Level/100)

ta/2 = t-table value

CI = confidence interval

CI = [( 367.7143-0.62) ± t a/2 * sqrt((84771.932798/7)+(0.030276/7)]

= [ (367.0943) ± t a/2 * 110.046719]

interpretations:

1. we are 95% sure that the interval [97.809978 , 636.378622] contains the true population proportion

2. If a large number of samples are collected, and a confidence interval is created

for each sample, 95% of these intervals will contains the true population proportion
