Chapter 11, Problem 67CR
When a surgeon repairs injuries, sutures (stitched knots) are used to hold together and stabilize the injured area. If these knots elongate and loosen through use, the injury may not heal properly because the tissues would not be optimally positioned. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, tied a series of different types of knots with two types of suture material, Maxon and Ticron.
Suppose that 112 tissue specimens were available and that for each specimen the type of knot and suture material were randomly assigned. The investigators tested the knots to see how much the loops elongated. The elongations (in mm) were measured and the resulting data are summarized here.
For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the elongation distributions as approximately normal.
- a. Is there a significant difference in mean elongation between the square knot and the Duncan loop for Maxon thread?
- b. Is there a significant difference in mean elongation between the square knot and the Duncan loop for Ticron thread?
- c. For the Duncan loop knot, is there a significant difference in mean elongation between the Maxon and Ticron threads?

A router is used to cut locating notches on a printed circuit board. The vibration level at the surface of the board as it is cut is considered to be a major source of dimensional variation in the notches. Two factors are thought to influence vibration: bit size (A) and cutting speed (B). Two bit sizes (1/16 and 1/8 inch) and two speeds (40 and 90 rpm) are selected, and four boards are cut at each set of conditions shown below. The response variable is vibration measured as a resultant vector of three accelerometers (x, y, and z) on each test circuit board.
(a) Consider the 26 design in eight blocks of eight runs each with ABCD, ACE, and ABEF as the independent effects chosen to be confounded with blocks. Generate the design. Find the other effects confound with blocks.

An article in Electronic Components and Technology Conference (2002, Vol. 52, pp. 1167-1171) compared single versus dual spindle saw processes for copper metallized wafers. A total of 15 devices of each type were measured for the width
of the backside chipouts, Xaingle = 66.385, saingle = 7.895and double = 45.278, Sdouble = 8.612.
Use a = 0.05 and assume that both populations are normally distributed and have the same variance.
(a) Do the sample data support the claim that both processes have the same mean width of backside chipouts?
(b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean difference in width of backside chipouts.

To determine this, 40 new-style golf balls and 40 original-style golf balls are randomly selected from the company’s production line on a specific day. The balls are then placed in a bag and shaken. A golf pro then selects a ball and hits it using a driver. The distance the ball travels is then measured. The bag is shaken again, and the golf pro selects another ball and hits it with the same driver. He continues this procedure until all 80 of the golf balls are hit. Which of the following is a benefit of having replication in the experiment? A)Repeating the experiment will allow the company to compare the distances traveled by the new type of golf ball from both experiments. B)Having a large number of each type of golf ball will allow for a good comparison of the differences in distances traveled for the two types of balls.…arrow_forwardA study was carried out to compare the writing lifetimes of four premium brands of pens.

- Josh wants to convince his mother to stop buying single-ply toilet paper. Josh believes that even though Fluffy, a two-ply toilet paper costs more, it will last longer because it is more absorbent. To help substantiate his claim, Josh performed a study. He purchased a random sample of 18 rolls of Fluffy. For each roll, he determined how many squares are needed to completely absorb one-quarter cup of water. Here is a dotplot of the data. The mean of the sample is 24.444 squares with a standard deviation of 2.45 squares. Single-ply toilet paper requires 26 squares to absorb one-quarter cup of water. Josh would like to carry out a test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the mean number of squares of Fluffy that are needed to absorb one-quarter cup of water is fewer than 26 squares. What is the appropriate test statistic and P-value of this test?

The following table gives the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) evaluation score for lower back pain syndrome for men and women prior to the surgery. The lower score indicates less pain. Assume that the two populations of pain scores are normally distributed with equal variances.

Ten pieces of pipe are marked off in six equal segments. For each pipe, two segments received coating A, two received coating B, and the remaining two received coating C. The pipes were placed in a corrosive environment for a period of time; then the depth of the deepest pit (in mm) caused by corrosion was measured for each segment on each pipe. The effect of interest is the coating; the pipe is a blocking factor, and there were two replications on each pipe. The following sums of squares were calculated: sum of squares for blocks = 11.2, sum of squares for treatments = 4.8, sum of squares for interactions = 18.4, total sum of squares = 44.7. a) Construct an ANOVA table. You may give ranges for the P-values. b) Are the assumptions for a randomized complete block design satisfied? Explain. c) Does the ANOVA table provide evidence that mean pit depth differs among coatings? Explain.arrow_forward
- Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms of fat‑free body mass per square meter of body surface area (kg/m2). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2.. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self‑image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m2.. Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2.. If young men thought that their own level of muscle was about what women prefer, the mean "muscle gap" in the study would be 0. We suspect (before seeing the data) that (most) young men tend to think women prefer more muscle than they themselves have.

A tender piece of meat tends to have a low collagen shrinkage temperature. So, the lower shrinkage temperature, the more tender the meat.It is believed that electrical stimulation of a beef carcass could improve the tenderness of the meat. In one study of this effect, beef carcasses were split in half; one side (half) was subjected to a brief electrical current and the other side was an untreated control. For each side, a steak was cut and tested in various ways for tenderness. In one test, the experimenter obtained a specimen of the connective collagen tissue from the steak and determined the temperature at which the tissue would shrink. The experimenter wishes to prove that electrical stimulation tends to improve the tenderness of the meat. The raw data are found in the table below. Let ? = 0.01.

The method involves placing solder bumps onto the bottom of the chip. The experiment used three solder bump sizes and three alignment methods. The response variable is alignment accuracy (in micrometers). The data are as follows: Solder Bump Size Alignment Method (diameter in um) 2 75 4.61 1.58 1.00 4.50 1.42 0.96 130 2.37 1.70 0.78 2.47 1.75 0.96 260 4.90 2.72 2.41 4.50 2.61 2.50 (a) Is there any indication that either solder bump size or alignment method affects the alignment accuracy?
