Chapter 4, Problem 10

(choose chapter or problem)

A manufacturer claims that the tensile strength of a certain composite \((\text { in } M P a)\) has the lognormal distribution with \(\mu=5 \text { and } \sigma=5\). Let  be the strength of a randomly sampled specimen of this composite.

a. If the claim is true, what is \(P(X<20)\) ?

b. Based on the answer to part (a), if the claim is true, would a strength of \(20 M P a\) be unusually small?

c. If you observed a tensile strength of \(20 M P a\), would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain.

d. If the claim is true, what is \(P(X<130)\)?

e. Based on the answer to part (d), if the claim is true, would a strength of \(130 M P a\) be unusually small?

f. If you observed a tensile strength of \(130 M P a\), would this be convincing evidence that the claim is false? Explain.
