Answer ALL questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 1 The breaking strength of cables has usually been assessed by testing samples of cables until they break (testing to destruction). ... A manufacturer of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) cables wants to replace testing to destruction with a method for predicting breaking strength based on known characteristics of a cable. The methods to be compared are a computer simulation model and a mathematical model. The investigation involves selecting a sample of 18 CFRP cables. Nine of them have their breaking strengths predicted by a computer simulation model and nine by a mathematical model. Each cable is then tested to destruction to determine its actual breaking strength. The following are the percentage errors made in the predictions for each model. A negative error means that the prediction is too low. Previous research suggests that percentage errors such as these have skew distributions.
