HW -31. An article in Solid State Technology ("Orthogonal Design for Process Optimization and Its Application in PlasmaEtching," May 1987, pp. 127–132) describes the application of factorial designs in developing a nitride etchprocess on a single-wafer plasma etcher. The process uses C2F6 as the reactant gas. It is possible to vary the gasflow, the power applied to the cathode, the pressure in the reactor chamber, and the spacing between theanode and the cathode (gap). Several response variables would usually be of interest in this process, but in thisexample we will concentrate on etch rate for silicon nitride. Perform an appropriate experiment to characterizethe performance of this etching process with respect to the four process variables.DesignFactorGapAPressureC;F, Flow PowerLevel(сm)(m Torr)(SCCM)(W)Low (-) 0.80High (+) 1.202753254501255502002.

An accounting firm uses sampling methods in its client auditing processes. Accounts of a particular type aregrouped together in a batch size of 25. The auditor is concerned about erroneous accounts escaping the auditingprocess. Sampling and auditing the accounts is time consuming and very expensive, and a random sample of sizen= 5 is about the largest sample that can practically be used. Suppose that the batch of accounts contains oneerroneous account. What is the probability that the sample that is selected contains the erroneous account?4. Hospital personnel routinely examine patient records for error, such as incomplete insurance information, onincomplete patient history, or missing/incomplete medical records. On average, about 250 new patients areadmitted each day. Historically, about 5% of these records have contained errors. If a random sample of 50 newpatient records is checked each day, what is the probability that this sample will contain at least one patientrecord with missing information?

Are birthdays "evenly distributed" throughout the year, or are they more common during some parts of the year than others? Owners of a children's toy store chain in the Northwest asked just this question. Some data collected by the chain are summarized in the table below. The data were obtained from a random sample of 190 people. The birthdate of each person was recorded, and each of these dates was placed into one of four categories: winter (December 21-March 20), spring (March 21-June 20), summer (June 21-September 20), and fall (September 21-December 20). The numbers in the first row of the table are the frequencies observed in the sample for these season categories. The numbers in the second row are the expected frequencies under the assumption that birthdays are equally likely during each season of the year. The bottom row of numbers gives the following value for each of the season categories. Answer the following to summarize the test of the hypothesis that birthdays are equally…

According to Quantcast analytics of Crossfits.com, 40% of Crossfitters have post-graduate degrees. Suppose we take a random sample of 60 crossfitters. a. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of Crossfitters who have post-graduate degrees for samples of size 60. b. Find the probability that at least half of the sample 60 Crossfitters have post-graduate degrees. c. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of Crossfitters who have post-graduate degrees for samples of size 100
Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 40 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 40-year-old university-educated American woman was 3.1 %. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 424 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 40s and who are now 45. Of these women, 19 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie's claim, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 3.1 % ? Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Read the following passage and observe the word length of each word. Make a frequency distribution of word length. Pargraph: “Statistics play an intrinsic role in computer science and vice versa. Statistics is used for data mining, speech recognition, vision and image analysis, data compression, artificial intelligence, and network and traffic modeling. A statistical background is essential for understanding algorithms and statistical properties that form the backbone of computer science. Typically, statistical approach to models tends to involve stochastic (random) models with prior knowledge of the data. The computer science approach, on the other hand, leans more to algorithmic models without prior knowledge of the data. Ultimately, these come together in attempts to solve problems.” Note table should neat and clean
Much is made of the fact that certain mutual funds outperform the market year after year (that is, the return from holding shares in the mutual fund is higher than the return from holding a portfolio such as the S&P 500). For concreteness, consider a 10-year period and let the population be the 4,170 mutual funds reported in The Wall Street Journal on January 1, 1995. By saying that performance relative to the market is random, we mean that each fund has a 50–50 chance of outperforming the market in any year and that performance is independent from year to year. (i) If performance relative to the market is truly random, what is the probability that any particular fund outperforms the market in all 10 years? (ii) Of the 4,170 mutual funds, what is the expected number of funds that will outperform the market in all 10 years? (iii) Find the probability that at least one fund out of 4,170 funds outperforms the market in all 10 years. What do you make of your answer? (iv) If you have a…

In simple random sampling, it is also true that each member of the population is equally likely to be selected, the chance for each member being equal to the sample size divided by the population size. a. Under what circumstances is that fact also true for systematic random sampling? Explain your answer.b. Provide an example in which that fact is not true for systematic random sampling.
Advertisers contract with Internet service providers and search engines to place ads on websites. They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on their ad. Unfortunately, click fraud—the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue—has become a problem. According to BusinessWeek, 42% of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 220 advertisers will be taken to learn more about how they are affected by this practice. Use z-table. a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.05 of the population proportion experiencing click fraud? (to 4 decimals) b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 0.45 ?(to 4 decimals)
A 2016 episode of the NPR program "This American Life" featured a radio show host from Tigerville South Carolina and focused on the divisions among evangelical Christians regarding their support of the then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. We know that these divisions still exist, and suppose you want to survey the people of Tigerville (population: 1.312) to see how many of them support Donald Trump today, and you want to use a simple random sample. (a) An SRS of 150 people is taken and it turns out that 55 support Trump. Estimate the proportion of people in Tigerville that support Trump and give a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Trump supporters using your estimate. (b) If 100 simple random samples are taken independently, and 100 such 95% confidence intervals are constructed, what is the probability that all 100 of these intervals will cover the true proportion? Does this number make sense to you? Explain.
A governmental agency computed the proportion of violent crimes in the United States in a particular year falling into each of four categories. A simple random sample of 500 violent crimes committed in California during that year were categorized in the same way. The following table presents the results. Category U.S.Proportion CaliforniaFrequency Murder 0.018 4 Forcible Rape 0.07 35 Robbery 0.390 218 Aggravated Assault 0.522 243 Can you conclude that the proportions of crimes in the various categories in California differ from those in the United States as a whole? Use the 0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. (b) Find the P-value. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
