Question

Consider the accompanying data on flexural strength (MPa) for concrete beams of a certain type.

(a) Calculate a point estimate of the mean value of strength for the conceptual population of all beams manufactured in this fashion. [Hint: xi = 219.3.] (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
MPa

Answer=

(b) Calculate a point estimate of the strength value that separates the weakest 50% of all such beams from the strongest 50%.
MPa

Answer=

(c) Calculate a point estimate of the population standard deviation . [Hint: xi2 = 1857.63.] (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
MPa

Answer=

(d) Calculate a point estimate of the proportion of all such beams whose flexural strength exceeds 10 MPa. [Hint: Think of an observation as a "success" if it exceeds 10.] (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer=
(e) Calculate a point estimate of the population coefficient of variation /. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
