Question 3:
Problem Statement:
In the textile manufacturing industry, ensuring the quality of fabric rolls is crucial to meet
customer requirements and maintain product consistency. Your task is to perform Acceptance
Sampling analysis on a dataset of fabric quality inspections and draw conclusions based on your
analysis.
Data:
Below is a dataset of fabric tensile strength measurements (in kilonewtons per meter, kN/m)
collected from a sample of fabric rolls produced in a textile manufacturing facility:
35.2, 34.8, 35.0, 35.1, 35.3, 35.0, 35.2, 34.9, 35.1, 35.0,
34.9, 35.2, 35.1, 35.3, 35.0, 35.2, 34.9, 35.1, 35.0, 35.2
1. Calculate Control Limits:
- Compute the mean (X-bar) and standard deviation (σ) of the tensile strength measurements.
- Determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) using the mean
and standard deviation.
2. Construct X-bar Chart:
- Plot the tensile strength measurements on a time-ordered X-bar chart.
- Add the UCL and LCL lines to the…

Background: Between the years of 1997 and 2003, the World Health Organization collected data on head circumference, arm circumference, and other body measurements for 8440 children from Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the USA. All of the children were healthy and breastfed by mothers who did not smoke. Children in the sample lived in socioeconomic conditions favorable to normal physical growth. Variables such as parental education level and income level were used to exclude children whose growth was “environmentally constrained”; however, low-weight full term babies were included if their mothers met socioeconomic and nutritional criteria. In short, the study design attempted to include healthy children from a wide range of ethnic and cultural groups whose home environments reasonably assured the conditions for healthy physical growth.
This data was used to produce growth charts that are part of every pediatrician’s toolkit for monitoring a child’s overall…

- Maple syrup is a non-negligible nutritional source of manganese. It is made from the sap of two species of maple: the sugar maple and the black maple. To see if there is a significant difference between the manganese content of these two species of maple, we measured the manganese content (in mg per 100g syrup) for a sample of sugar maples and a sample of black maples. The data is summarized by the Minitab output below: Two-sample T for Sugar Maple Black Maple group N Mean St Dev SE Mean Sugar Maple 20 Black Maple 12 3.55 0.29 Find: (i) a point estimate for ₁-2, where ₁ and 2 are the average manganese contents of the sugar maple, respectively the black maple; (ii) the standard error of X₁ - X₂.

- The materials handling manager of a manufacturing company is trying to forecast the cost of maintenance for the company's fleet of over-the-road tractors. The manager believes that the cost of maintaining the tractors increases with their age. The following data was collected: Age (years) 5.5 where Y = Yearly maintenance cost in dollars and X = Age in years. 5.5 5.5 5.0 5.0 5.0 6.0 6.0 6.5 Yearly Maintenance Cost (S) 1,319 1,749 1,733 1,195 1,423 1,381 1,590 2,222 1,687 Age (years) 5.0 1.5 1.5 Y = 7.0 7.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Yearly Maintenance Cost ($) 1,894 863 882 a.

The company aims to select the supplier that provides engines with lower specific fuel consumption (SFC) to improve the vehicle's fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs. Your task is to compare the SFC of engines received from two suppliers and provide recommendations based on your analysis. Data: Below are datasets of specific fuel consumption (SFC) measurements for the engines received from Supplier X and Supplier Y. The SFC is measured in grams per kilowatt-hour (g/kWh). Supplier X: 195, 200, 192, 205, 198, 202, 190, 208, 200, 194 Supplier Y: 185, 190, 183, 188, 186, 195, 180, 200, 190, 187 1. Calculate Control Limits: - Compute the mean (X-bar) and standard deviation (σ) of the SFC measurements for each supplier. - Determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) for each supplier using the mean and standard deviation.…arrow_forward
- The residuals for data set A and data set B were calculated and plotted on separate residual plots. If the residuals for data set A do not form a pattern and the residuals for data set B do not form a pattern, what can be concluded? OA. A linear model is a good fit for data set A but not data set B. O B. A linear model is a good fit for data set B but not data set A. AC. A linear model is a good fit for both data sets. D. A linear model is not a good fit for either data set.arrow_forwardI need help with question 2 and 9 plz.arrow_forwardProblem 10.4. We continue with the situation in Problem 8.8. Assume that the two sample sizes are nį = 19 and n2 = 12 and the two sample variances are s = 0.81 and s = 0.49. Is there enough evidence that fam- ilies from culled populations have a lower bunching intensity than families from non-culled populations? Use a test of hypothesis at level a = 0.005.
