Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 1.15E
a)
To determine
To create an example about observational study.
a)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 1.15E
This is an observational study.
Explanation of Solution
First need to understand about the observational study:
Observation study: In an observational study, measure or survey members of a sample without trying to affect them.
Suppose a group of high school students is selected and asked about opinion about the school rules and their recommendations. In this study, we only observing the opinion of students without influencing any treatment.
b)
To determine
To create an example about experimental study.
b)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 1.15E
This is an experimental study.
Explanation of Solution
First need to understand about the experimental study:
Experimental study: Assigning people or things to groups and applying some treatment to one group, while the other group does not receive the treatment.
Suppose the 2 groups of high school students are taking. One group having the training about the personality development and other group having no training. Researcher wants to compare the behavior of students. In this case one group imposed for training therefore, this is experimental study.

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
