The following table presents shear strengths (in kN/mm) and weld diameters (in mm) for a sample of spot welds. a. Construct a scatterplot of strength (y) versus diameter (x). Verify that a linear model is appropriate. b. Compute the least-squares line for predicting strength from diameter. c.

A First Course in Probability 9
Problem 33P A newsboy purchases papers at 10 cents and sells them at 15 cents. However, he is not allowed to return unsold papers. If his daily demand is a binomial random variable with n = 10, p = , approximately how many papers should he purchase so as to maximize his expected profit?

The chemical reactor shown below has a cover that is held in place by a series of bolts. The cover is made of stainless steel SG 8:0, is 3 inches thick, has a diameter of 24 inches, and covers and seals an opening 20 inches in diameter. During turnaround, when the reactor is taken out of service for
