The following data were obtained from a company that manufactures special plastic containers that are to hold a specified volume of hazardous material. On each of the three 8-hour shifts workers are able to make 500 of the containers. Some containers do not meet specifications as required by the company's customer because they are too small; others, because they are too large.

Concept explainers

Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.

Mean, Median, Mode

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.

A dealer in recycled paper places empty trailers at various sites. The trailers are gradually filled by individuals who bring in old newspapers and magazines and are picked up on several schedules. One such schedule involves pickup every second week. This schedule is desirable if the average amount of recycled paper is more than 1,600 cubic feet per 2-week period. The dealer’s records for 18 2-week periods show the following volumes (in cubic feet) at a particular site: 1,660 1,820 1,590 1,440 1,730 1,680 1,750 1,720 1,900 1,570 1,700 1,900 1,800 1,770 2,010 1,580 1,620 1,690 ȳ = 1,718.3 and s = 137 .8 Assuming the 18 2-week periods are fairly typical of the volumes throughout the year, is there significant evidence that the average volume m is greater than 1,600 cubic feet? Place a 95% confidence interval on m. Compute the p-value for the test statistic. Is there strong evidence that m is greater than 1,600?

The specification for the pull strength of a wire that connects an integrated circuit to its frame is 10 g or more. Units made with aluminum wire have a defect rate of 10%. A redesigned manufacturing process, involving the use of gold wire, is being investigated. The goal is to reduce the rate of defects to 5% or less. Out of the first 100 units manufactured with gold wire, only 4 are defective. True or false: a) Since only 4% of the 100 units were defective, we can conclude that the goal has been reached. b) Although the sample percentage is under 5%, this may represent sampling variation, so the goal may not yet be reached. c) There is no use in testing the new process, because no matter what the result is, it could just be due to sampling variation. d) If we sample a large enough number of units, and if the percentage of defective units is far enough below 5%, then it is reasonable to conclude that the goal has been reached.
The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table. Tensile Strength Outside Diameter Amount of Molybdenum Place (PSI ) Y (mm) X1 (Units) X2 A 11 0.3 6 B 9 0.2 5 C 16 0.4 8 D 12 0.3 7 Using a statistical software package, the QC engineer determined the multiple regression equation to be Y’=-0.5+20X1+1X2. a) Based on the equation, what is the estimated tensile strength of a steel wire having an outside diameter of .35 mm and 6.4 units of molybdenum? b) Interpret the value of b1 in the equation.

A study was conducted by the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech to determine if there is a significant difference in the density of organisms at two different stations located on Cedar Run, a secondary stream in the Roanoke River drainage basin. Sewage from a sewage treatment plant and overflow from the Federal Mogul Corporation settling pond enter the stream near its headwaters. The accompanying data give the density measurements, in number of organisms per square meter, at the two collecting stations. Can it be concluded, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the average densities at the two stations are equal? Assume that the observations come from normal populations with different variances. Click the icon to view the data on organisms per square meter. Let sample 1 be the station 1 data and let sample 2 be the station 2 data. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

PT. X is an industry engaged in concrete steel with various diameter sizes. The product that is mostly produced is concrete iron with a diameter of 12 mm because it suits the needs of consumers and the current pandemic conditions. During the period from January to December 2019, PT. X is capable of producing as many as 6800 tonnes of units. From the results produced, there is a product defect of 70.4 with the type of product damage, namely overfill (wing), overlap (excessive shape), underfill (kempong) and scratch (beret). In that period, defects were found above the tolerance limit of 2%, namely at week 5 and week 12 of 2.42% and 2.21%. During the production process PT.X has a 2% probability of producing defective products. If you check is 065, then determine:a. P(X=0)b. P(X=1)c. P(X=2)d. P(X≤2)e. P(X≥3)
