Required:
Estimate true average bond strength in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability.

Answer 1

Average strength of bond = 8.08 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given data;

11.5 12.1 9.9 9.3 7.8 6.2 6.6 7.0 13.4 17.1 9.3 5.6 5.7 5.4 5.2 5.1 4.9 10.7 15.2 8.5 4.2 4.0 3.9 3.8 3.6 3.4 20.6 25.5 13.8 12.6 13.1 8.9 8.2 10.7 14.2 7.6 5.2 5.5 5.1 5.0 5.2 4.8 4.1 3.8 3.7 3.6 3.6 3.6

Find:

Average strength of bond

Computation:

Average mean = Sum of all observation / Number of observation

Average strength of bond = [11.5 + 12.1 + 9.9 + 9.3 + 7.8 + 6.2 + 6.6 + 7.0 + 13.4 + 17.1 + 9.3 + 5.6 + 5.7 + 5.4 + 5.2 + 5.1 + 4.9 + 10.7 + 15.2 + 8.5 + 4.2 + 4.0 + 3.9 + 3.8 + 3.6 + 3.4 + 20.6 + 25.5 + 13.8 + 12.6 + 13.1 + 8.9 + 8.2 + 10.7 + 14.2 + 7.6 + 5.2 + 5.5 + 5.1 + 5.0 + 5.2 + 4.8 + 4.1 + 3.8 + 3.7 + 3.6 + 3.6 + 3.6] / 48

Average strength of bond = [387.8] / 48

Average strength of bond = 8.0791

Average strength of bond = 8.08 (Approx.)
