Question 1
The data shown in Table 1 are and R values for 24 samples of size n = 5 taken from a process producing
bearings. The measurements are made on the inside diameter of the bearing, with only the last three decimals
recorded (i.e., 34.5 should be 0.50345).

(a) Set up and R charts on this process. Does the process seem to be in statistical control? If necessary,
revise the trial control limits. [15 pts]
(b) If specifications on this diameter are 0.5030±0.0010, find the percentage of nonconforming bearings pro-
duced by this process. Assume that diameter is normally distributed. [10 pts]

4. (5 pts) Conduct a chi-square contingency test (test of independence) to assess whether
there is an association between the behavior of the elderly person (did not stop to talk,
did stop to talk) and their likelihood of falling. Below, please state your null and
alternative hypotheses, calculate your expected values and write them in the table,
compute the test statistic, test the null by comparing your test statistic to the critical
value in Table A (p. 713-714) of your textbook and/or estimating the P-value, and
provide your conclusions in written form. Make sure to show your work.

- 7. In a 2011 article, M. Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2). For the model logit[P(Y = 1)] = a + ß₁₂ + By + B²², they reported = -5.26, D â BD = 0, BD = 0.17, BY = 0, BY = 0.91, B = 0, B = 2.02, B = 3.98.

- Question 1:We want to evaluate the impact on the monetary economy for a company of two types of strategy (competitive strategy, cooperative strategy) adopted by buyers.Competitive strategy: strategy characterized by firm behavior aimed at obtaining concessions from the buyer.Cooperative strategy: a strategy based on a problem-solving negotiating attitude, with a high level of trust and cooperation.A random sample of 17 buyers took part in a negotiation experiment in which 9 buyers adopted the competitive strategy, and the other 8 the cooperative strategy. The savings obtained for each group of buyers are presented in the pdf that i sent: For this problem, we assume that the samples are random and come from two normal populations of unknown but equal variances.According to the theory, the average saving of buyers adopting a competitive strategy will be lower than that of buyers adopting a cooperative strategy.a) Specify the population identifications and the hypotheses H0 and H1…arrow_forwardYou assume that the annual incomes for certain workers are normal with a mean of $28,500 and a standard deviation of $2,400.
