Chapter 8.3, Problem 40PB
Political views The General Social Survey asks respondents to rate their political views on a seven-point scale, where 1 = extremely liberal, 4 = moderate, and 7 = extremely conservative. A researcher analyzing data from the 2012 GSS obtains MINITAB output:
- a. Show how to construct the confidence interval from the other information provided.
- b. Can you conclude that the population
mean is lower than the moderate score of 4.0? Explain. - c. Would the confidence interval be wider, or narrower,
- (i) if you constructed a 99% confidence interval and
- (ii) if n = 500 instead of 1874?

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.

- Question 2 A nickel-titanium alloy is used to make components for jet turbine aircraft engines. 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.
