Answer to Problem 10.9E

The review boards contain people who are not scientists for getting accurate reviews.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The institutional review boards of government regulations should consist of at least five people. One must be a scientist, one must be a non-scientist, and one must be outside the institution.

Justification:

For obtaining accurate and stable reviews of government regulations (about both the technical issue and non-technical issues of the institution) by the review boards, it must involve people who are not scientists.

Thus, the review boards contain people who are not scientists for getting accurate reviews.

b.

Answer to Problem 10.9E

Yes, one outside member is enough and a medical doctor can be chosen for giving reviews.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

One outside member for the review board is enough as this member is selected virtually. Say, a medical doctor (who is not a scientist) would give the reviews that are not identified by the institution members.

Thus, one outside member is enough and a medical doctor can be chosen for giving reviews.

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 25, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28, and 25. Compute the range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation (to a maximum of 2 decimals, if decimals are necessary). Range   Interquartile range   Variance   Standard deviation
Obtain the linear equation for trend for time series with St² = 140, Ey = 16.91 and Σty= 62.02, m n = 7
A quality characteristic of a product is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ = 1. Speci- fications on the characteristic are 6≤x≤8. A unit that falls within specifications on this quality characteristic results in a profit of Co. However, if x 8, the profit is -C2. Find the value ofμ that maximizes the expected profit.
