1. Minting Quarters Specifications for a quarter require that it be 8.33% nickel and 91.67% copper; it must weigh 5.670 g and have a diameter of 2426 mm and a thickness of 1.75 mm; and it must have 119 reeds on the edge. A quarter is considered to be defective if it deviates substantially from those specifications. A production process is monitored, defects are recorded and the accompanying control chart is obtained. Does this process appear to be within statistical control? If not identify any out-of-control criteria that are satisfied. Is the manufacturing process deteriorating?

Suppose you decide to take the summer off and sign on as a deck hand for a commercial fishing boat in Alaska that specializes in deep-water fishing for groundfish. What kind of fish can you expect to catch? One way to answer this question is to examine government reports on groundfish caught in the Gulf of Alaska. The following list indicates the types of fish caught annually in thousands of metric tons: flatfish, 38.0; Pacific cod, 68.6; sablefish, 15.0; Walleye pollock, 70.1; rockfish, 20.3.

To ivestigate this question, a set of the control circuits was tested as follows. Their resistance was measured while the machine motor was not running for a certain period of time and then again while the motor was running. The values found are listed in the worksheet with kilo-Ohms as the unit of measurement. 1. Set up the structure of an appropriate statistical test to determine whether the resistance of the control circuit in a machine is lower when the machine motor is running. 2) Carry out the statistical test and state your conclusions. 2. Give a reason why the data is measured with the engine not run- ning first and then with the engine running.arrow_forward
