Answer to Problem 1SE

The number of acres of land has a stronger relationship with the value of the land.

Explanation of Solution

From the scatterplot of (A), one can see that the points are very close to each other and the points are less scattered in the vertical direction. There is a strong relationship between the number of acres and the value of land (thousands of dollars).

On the other hand, in the scatterplot of (B), the points are widely scattered in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the number of acres of land has a strong relationship with the value of land.

b.

To determine

Explain a better prediction about the value of land by knowing the acreage or the number of rooms in the house.

b.

Answer to Problem 1SE

Yes, one can be able to make a better prediction about the value of land.

Explanation of Solution

  • From the scatterplots of (A) and (B), one can observe that the value of land is more strongly associated with acreage than with the number of rooms.
  • Thus, one can be able to make a better prediction about the value of land because there is less scatteredness in the vertical direction of acreage and the value of land.
  • Therefore, yes, one can be able to make a better prediction about the value of land.

A quality characteristic of a product is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ = 1. Speci- fications on the characteristic are 6≤x≤8. A unit that falls within specifications on this quality characteristic results in a profit of Co. However, if x 8, the profit is -C2. Find the value ofμ that maximizes the expected profit.
A) The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively, what is the probability that a power supply selected at random conform to the specifications on voltage? B) Continuation of A. Reconsider the power supply manufacturing process in A. Suppose We wanted to improve the process. Can shifting the mean reduce the number of nonconforming units produced? How much would the process variability need to be reduced in order to have all but one out of 1000 units conform to the specifications?
