Regression for outsourcing Refer to the previous exercise.
- a. Set up indicator variables to represent the three service centers.
- b. The prediction equation is
Outsourcing satisfaction Exercise 14.5 showed an ANOVA for comparing
- a. Explain why the margin of error for separate 95% confidence intervals is the same for comparing the population means for each pair of cities. Show that this margin of error is 0.19.
- b. Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in population means for each pair of service centers. Interpret.
- c. The margin of error for Tukey 95% multiple comparison confidence intervals for comparing the service centers is 0.23. Construct the intervals. Interpret.
- d. Why are the confidence intervals different in part b and in part c? What is an advantage of using the Tukey intervals?

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.
