Task1
Strength (N/mm2) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Frequency 01 02 03 06 08 11 06 05 03 04 02
Unit Value: 1.0 N/mm2 Chosen Value: 15 N/mm2
Minimum Strength of the concrete from the samples: 10 N/mm2
Maximum Strength of the concrete from the samples: 20 N/mm2
To calculate the mean of the results we must use the formula:
_X = ∑ χf ∑f
χ Xc f Xcf Xc2f
10 -5 1 -5 25
11 -4 2 -8 32
12 -3 3 -9 27
13 -2 6 -12 24
14 -1 8 -8 8
15 0 11 0 0
16 1 6 6 6
17 2 5 10 20
18 3 3 9 27
19 4 4 16 64
20 5 2 10 50
Total: 51 9 283
_
Now Xc = ∑cf = 9 = 0.176470588
∑f 51
_
Therefore X = 15 + (0.176470588 x 1.0) = 15.176470588 N/mm2
Average strength of the concrete samples: 15.176470588 N/mm2
To calculate the Standard Deviation we must use the formula:
_∂c = ∑ X2f Ð'- (Xc) 2 ∑f
_
∂c = ∑ X2f Ð'- (Xc) 2
∑f
= 283 Ð'- (0.176470588) 2
51
= 5.549019608 Ð'- 0.031141868
= 5.51787774
= 2.349016262
Therefore ∂ = 2.3490 x unit size = 2.3490 x 1.0 = 2.3490 N/mm2
Rough check for ∂
Range = 10 is the lowest value Range = 20 - 10
20 is the highest value = 10
Number of values = 11. Take away the first and last value (10 and 20), and left with 9 values.
Approximate ∂ = 10 = 1.111ׂ
9
Check approximate values Rough = 1.111ׂ
Actual = 2.349
As the answers are only 1.2 decimals apart, I am confident that I have the correct answer.
Calculate the probability of the concrete strength being less than 14 N/mm2.
