Chapter 13.2, Problem 18E
In each of Exercises 13.18–13.23, we have provided a distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple random sample of a population. In each case, use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to decide, at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.
13.18 Distribution: 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1
Observed frequencies: 39, 78, 64, 19
Significance level = 0.05

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.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
