Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 38E
Refer to Exercise 10.20. The steel is sufficiently hard to meet usage requirements if the mean Rockwell hardness measure does not drop below 60. Using the rejection region found in Exercise 10.20, find β for the specific alternative μa = 60.
10.20 The Rockwell hardness index for steel is determined by pressing a diamond point into the steel and measuring the depth of penetration. For 50 specimens of an alloy of steel, the Rockwell hardness index averaged 62 with standard deviation 8. The manufacturer claims that this alloy has an average hardness index of at least 64. Is there sufficient evidence to refute the manufacturer’s claim at the 1% significance level?

Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses in buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered “acceptable” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 6 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L):
1.9 2.8 3.9 3.9 4.2 5.7

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow:
Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871

- A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is.x₁ = 1.15 and S₁ = 0.11, while for the 20-mil film, the data yield 2 = 1.06 and s2 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed would lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch. Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film?
