Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 41E
Industrial experiment Engineers at a computer production plant tested two methods for accuracy in drilling holes into a PC board. They tested how fast they could set the drilling machine by running 10 boards at each of two different speeds. To assess the results, they measured the distance (in inches) from the center of a target on the board to the center of the hole. The data and summary statistics are shown in the table:
Write a report summarizing the findings of the experiment. Include appropriate visual and verbal displays of the distributions, and make a recommendation to the engineers if they are most interested in the accuracy of the method.

An ecologist hypothesizes a relationship between wing span of birds and the width of tree branches they use. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in
millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch
diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below. What can the ecologist conclude with an a of 0.10?

An ecologist hypothesizes that birds with longer wing spans use wider tree branches. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below.

The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.
