Chapter 4, Problem 130E(choose chapter or problem)
Department of Defense START sheets. The DoD RAC publishes START sheets for government and industry. These START sheets are designed to improve the reliability, maintainability, supportability, and quality of manufactured components and systems. In Volume 11 (2004), the DoD analyzed the following data set on tensile strength measurements taken at two different temperatures. (The data are saved in the accompanying file.) In the START sheet, the DoD demonstrated that the data for the 11 tensile strength measurements were sampled from an approximately normal distribution. Do you agree?

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Let X be the tensile strength measurements.
Here the DOD demonstrates that X approximately follows a normal distribution.
Using MINITAB, we find the summary statistics for the given data as follows:
From the above output, we have the sample mean, , the sample standard deviation, s = 7.91, and the upper and lower quartiles as and respectively.
