a. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute. Repeat for brand B. Compare the widths of the two intervals and comment on the reasons for any difference.

The mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is ____ to ____hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The mean useful life of a brand B cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is ____to ______hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

b. Use a 90% prediction interval to predict the mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute. Repeat for brand B. Compare the widths of the two intervals and comment on the reasons for any difference.

The predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is ____    to___      hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The predicted useful life of a brand B cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is ___    to ____      hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.

c. Supposed you were asked to predict the useful life of brand A cutting tool with a cutting speed of x=100 meters per minute. Because the given value of x is given outside the range of the sample x-values, the prediction is an example of an extrapolation. Predict the useful life of brand A cutting tool that is 100 meters per minute and construct a 90% prediction interval for the actual useful life of the tool.

The predicted useful life of brand A cutting tool that is operated at 100 meters per minute is ___ hours. (Round to two decimal places as needed)

The actual useful life of brand A cutting tool when the speed is 100 meters per minute is ___ to ____hours. (Round to two decimal places as needed)

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

a. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute. Repeat for brand B. Compare the widths of the two intervals and comment on the reasons for any difference.

The mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is 2.8 to 3.9 hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The mean useful life of a brand B cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is 4.1 to 4.7 hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

b. Use a 90% prediction interval to predict the mean useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute. Repeat for brand B. Compare the widths of the two intervals and comment on the reasons for any difference.

The predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is 1.2   to 5.5      hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

The predicted useful life of a brand B cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minute is 3.2   to 5.6      hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.

c. Supposed you were asked to predict the useful life of brand A cutting tool with a cutting speed of x=100 meters per minute. Because the given value of x is given outside the range of the sample x-values, the prediction is an example of an extrapolation. Predict the useful life of brand A cutting tool that is 100 meters per minute and construct a 90% prediction interval for the actual useful life of the tool.

The predicted useful life of brand A cutting tool that is operated at 100 meters per minute is -0.71 hours. (Round to two decimal places as needed)

The actual useful life of brand A cutting tool when the speed is 100 meters per minute is -3.5 to 2.1 hours. (Round to two decimal places as needed)
