so:∂f∂D = π 8 · D3and∂f∂d = −π 8 · d3and hence: (according to error propagation rule)and hence the correct answer is 5.Exercise IIV ar(I p ) ≈( π8 · D3 ) 2· σ2D +( π8 · d3 ) 2· σ2dA strength calculation on an old tube in a construction is to be performed. Because ofcorrosion and age diameters are quite ’indeterminate’. Therefore several measurementsare made of as well outer as inner diameter. The measurements of outer respectivelyinner diameter are independent of each other. The results are listed below: (all dimensionsin mm)Outer diameter, x: 44.9, 44.2 , 44.6, 44.8 , 44.0, 45.1Inner diameter, y: 32.4, 32.5, 31.5, 32.2, 32.6, 31.7From the data we get:(¯x; s x ) = (44.6; 0.424) mm and (ȳ; s y ) = (32.15; 0.451) mmQuestion II.1 (3) The outer diameter of the tube is as new 45 mm. The followingtest is performed:H 0 : µ x = 45H 1 : µ x < 45At a 5% level of significance the result of this study is? (As well conclusion as argumentmust be correct) The t-statistic becomes:t =44.6 − 450.424/6 = −2.31and using a t-distribution with df=5 the P-value becomesP (t ≤ −2.31) = 0.0345found in R by pt(-2.31,5). Using Table 4 of the book it would be found that theP-value is between 0.025 and 0.05. If the data was put into R, the result could also befound as:2
