Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.1AYK
To determine
To identify: the individuals, response variable and treatments of a given experiment.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 7.1AYK
The individuals are healthy people aged 18-40 who either take placebo pills or extract of Ginkgo leaves and participate in the experiment.
The two treatments are administration of i) placebo pills and ii) extract of Ginkgo leaves
Response variable is number of missed letters “e” which do not have X mark on it.
Explanation of Solution
A study assigns healthy people aged 18-40 to take either Ginkgo extract or placebo pills. After lunch, they are asked to read 7 pages of random letters and place an X over every e. Number of misses are counted. This experiment is carried to know whether extract of Ginkgo leaves effects the post lunch dip.
The individuals are healthy people aged 18-40 who participate in the experiment by either taking Ginkgo extract or Placebo pills.
The two treatments are administration of i) placebo pills and ii) extract of Ginkgo leaves.
The response variable is number of missed letters e which do not have X mark on it by a person.

A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected.
a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected.
b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected?
c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.
5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote
symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6). Show that
(X + Y) X+ys.
8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose
that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.
