Chapter 1, Problem 1.29QP
An asphalt concrete cylindrical specimen with a 4-in. diameter and a 6-in. height is subjected to an axial compressive static load of 150 lb for 1 hour, after which the load is removed. The test was performed at a temperature of 100°F. The height of the specimen was measured at different time intervals during loading and unloading for a total of 2 hours and produced the results shown in Table P1.29.

1.46: A contractor claims that the mean compressive strength for a concrete mix is 5000 psi (μ) and that it has a standard deviation of 400 psi (σ). If you break 20 cylinders (N) and obtain a mean compressive strength of 4,800 psi (m), would you believe the contractor’s claim? Why? (Hint; Use statistical t-test.) Next, what is the maximum number of breaks (N) that could be performed that WOULD make you believe the contractor’s claim? Assume that the results wouldn’t change, i.e. σ = 400 psi and m = 4,800 psi. Recall that the equation to find the lower bound of a one sided distribution is LB = μ - (tσ)* σ/(N^0.5) Because the sample size is relatively small, use the ‘student t test’ to represent the normal distribution. You should have at least 95% confidence in the results. That means that α = 0.05. Keep in mind that this is a one tailed distribution, since we only care about the lower bound (i.e. meaning that we are only concerned about concrete that doesn’t meet our minimum strength…
