Chapter 6.2, Problem 37AYU
Toilet Flushing In the Healthy Handwashing Survey conducted by Bradley Corporation, it was found that 64% of adult Americans operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot. Suppose a random sample of n = 20 adult Americans is obtained and the number X who flush public toilets with their foot is recorded.
- a. Explain why this is a binomial experiment.
- b. Find and interpret the
probability that exactly 12 flush public toilets with their foot. - c. Find and interpret the probability that at least 16 flush public toilets with their foot.
- d. Find and interpret the probability that between 9 and 11, inclusive, flush public toilets with their foot.
- e. Would it be unusual to find more than 17 who flush public toilets with their foot? Why?

A retail chain is interested in determining whether a digital video point-of-purchase (POP) display would stimulate higher sales for a brand advertised compared to the standard cardboard point-of-purchase display. To test this, a one-shot static group design experiment was conducted over a four-week period in 100 different stores. Fifty stores were randomly assigned to the control treatment (standard display) and the other 50 stores were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment (digital display). Compare the sales of the control group (standard POP) to the experimental group (digital POP).
What were the average sales for the standard POP display (control group)?
What were the sales for the digital display (experimental group)?
What is the (mean) difference in sales between the experimental group and control group?

- Question 4 An article in Quality Progress (May 2011, pp. 42-48) describes the use of factorial experiments to improve a silver powder production process. This product is used in conductive pastes to manufacture a wide variety of products ranging from silicon wafers to elastic membrane switches. Powder density (g/cm²) and surface area (cm/g) are the two critical characteristics of this product. The experiments involved three factors: reaction temperature, ammonium percentage, stirring rate. Each of these factors had two levels, and the design was replicated twice. The design is shown in Table 3.

Cracking is a potentially serious problem in the final part because it can lead to nonrecoverable failure. A test is run at the parts producer to determine the effect of four factors on cracks. The four factors are: pouring temperature (A), titanium content (B), heat treatment method (C), amount of grain refiner used (D). Two replicates of a 24 design are run, and the length of crack (in mm x10-2) induced in a sample coupon subjected to a standard test is measured. The data are shown in Table 2. 1 (a) Estimate the factor effects. Which factor effects appear to be large? (b) Conduct an analysis of variance. Do any of the factors affect cracking? Use a = 0.05.
