Question

Suppose the value of Young's modulus (GPa) was determined for cast plates consisting of certain intermetallic substrates, resulting in the following sample observations: 116.8 115.9 114.6 115.4 115.8 Calculate x. GPa Calculate the deviations from the mean. (Enter your answers to two decimal places.) x 116.8 115.9 114.6 115.4 115.8 deviation Use the deviations calculated in part (a) to obtain the sample variance and the sample standard deviation. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Calculate s^2 by using the computational formula for the numerator S_xx. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Subtract 100 from each observation to obtain a sample of transformed values. Now calculate the sample variance of these transformed values. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Compare it to s^2 for the original data.

Explanation / Answer

a)Mean (x bar) =578.5/5=115.7

b) Deviations from the mean

c) S^2 = SXX/n-1 =2.56/4 = 0.64

d)

Variance = 0.64

e)

Variance in part (d) is equal to the variance in part (b)

variance is independent of change of origin.

x 116.8 115.9 114.6 115.4 115.8 Deviations from mean 1.1 0.2 -1.1 -0.3 0.1
