Spacers are manufactured to the mean dimension and tolerance shown in Figure 29-12. An inspector measures 10 spacers and records the following thicknesses: 0.372" 0.376" 0.379" 0.375" 0.370" 0.373" 0.377" 0.378" 0.371" 0.380" Which spacers are defective (above the maximum limit or below the minimum limit)?

1.56 Longleaf pine trees. The Wade Tract in Thomas County, Georgia, is an old-growth forest of longleaf pine trees (Pinus palustris) that has survived in a relatively undisturbed state since before the settlement of the area by Europeans. A study collected data on 584 of these trees. One of the variables measured was the diameter at breast height (DBH). This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet, and the units are centimeters (cm). Only trees with DBH greater than 1.5 cm were sampled. Here are the diameters of a random sample of 40 of these trees: PINES 27 10.5 13.3 26.0 18.3 52.2 9.2 26.1 17.6 40.5 31.8 47.2 11.4 2.7 69.3 44.4 16.9 35.7 5.4 44.2 2.2 4.3 7.8 38.1 2.2 11.4 51.5 4.9 39.7 32.6 51.8 43.6 2.3 44.6 31.5 40.3 22.3 43.3 37.5 29.1 27.9 (a) Find the five-number summary for these data.

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow: Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871 Club 2: 0.8305, 0.7905, 0.8352, 0.8380, 0.8145, 0.8465, 0.8244, 0.8014, 0.8309, 0.8405, 0.8256, 0.8476 Test the hypothesis that both brands of ball have equal mean overall distance.

"Color fastness to wash" of a colored textile fabric is defined to be the fabric's resistance to changes in color when subjected to repeated washing of the fabric. The test for ensuring the fastness of colored fabrics is performed in a dying lab. A newly manufactured lot of a red multifiber fabric baseline color measurement of each swatch. The 10 swatches undergo 10 identical washes, after which the color of each swatch is again measured by the same spectrophotometer. This procedure was repeated after 25 washes and again after 50 washes of the 10 swatches. sent to a dying lab for a wash fastness test. Ten swatches of the fabric are cut, each measuring 40 by 100 millimeters. A spectrophotometer is used to obtain a precise Which of the following is a true statement regarding this study? O This study uses independent groups to compare the color of the fabric at three points in time. O This is an observational study. O This is a repeated measures design that examines the change in color…
