(b) In a ready mix plant, cylindrical samples are prepared and tested periodically to detect any mix design problems and to ensure that the compressive strength is higher than the lower specification limit. The minimum target value for compressive strength was set at 4000. The following compressive data were collected.
\table[[Sample No.,\table[[Compressive],[Strength, psi]],Sample No.,\table[[Compressive],[Strength, psi]]],[1,4915,14,5772],[2,4732,15,4270],[3,5670,16,5096],[4,4310,17,4670],[5,6110,18,5174],[6,4316,19,5434],[7,5240,20,3692],[8,4950,21,4510],[9,5230,22,3680],[10,4190,23,4100],[11,5770,24,3680],[12,4524,25,3910],[13,4056,,]]
Calculate the mean, standard deviation, confidence interval (Cl), and the coefficient of variation of the test data. Is the plant production meeting the specification requirement? If not, comment on possible reasons. Comment on the quality of data. (10 points)
