b.Clorox,Duke Energy, Neiman Marcus, Seagate.

c. Pooja, Neha, Ashima, Shruti.

d. 3.56, 2.97, 2.55, 3.25

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Four populations are provided.

02

Provide one possible sample of size 4.

A sample is defined as a subset of the population that consists of some entries from the population.

a.

The possible sample of size 4 for all daily newspapers published in the United States is given as,

Oberlin Tribune

Gainesville Sun

Los Angeles Times

Washington Post

b.

The possible sample of size 4 for all companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange is given as,

Clorox

Duke Energy

Neiman Marcus

Seagate

03

Provide one possible sample of size 4.

c.

The possible sample of size 4 for all students at my university is given as,

Pooja

Neha

Ashima

Shruti

d.

The possible sample of size 4 for all grade point averages of students at my collegeis given as,

3.56

2.97

Fretting is a wear process that results from tangential oscillatory movements of small amplitude in machine parts. The article 鈥淕rease Effect on Fretting Wear of Mild Steel鈥� (Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2008: 67鈥�78) included the following data on volume wear (1024 mm3 ) for base oils having four different viscosities.

Viscosity Wear
20.4 58.8 30.8 27.3 29.9 17.7 76.5
30.2 44.5 47.1 48.7 41.6 32.8 18.3
89.4 73.3 57.1 66.0 93.8 133.2 81.1
252.6 30.6 24.2 16.6 38.9 28.7 23.6

a. The sample coefficient of variation 100s/x-bar assesses the extent of variability relative to the mean (specifically, the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean). Calculate the coefficient of variation for the
sample at each viscosity. Then compare the results and comment.
b. Construct a comparative boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.

A Pareto diagram is a variation of a histogram forcategorical data resulting from a quality control study.Each category represents a different type of product non-conformity or production problem. The categories areordered so that the one with the largest frequencyappears on the far left, then the category with the secondlargest frequency, and so on. Suppose the following information on nonconformities in circuit packs isobtained: failed component, 126; incorrect component,210; insufficient solder, 67; excess solder, 54; missingcomponent, 131. Construct a Pareto diagram.

The three measures of center introduced in this chapter are the mean, median, and trimmed mean. Two additional measures of center that are occasionally used are the midrange,which is the average of the smallest and largest observations, and the midfourth,which is the average of the two fourths. Which of these five measures of center are resistant to the effects of outliers and which are not? Explain your reasoning.

The actual tracking weight of a stereo cartridge that is set to track at \({\rm{3 g}}\) on a particular changer can be regarded as a continuous rv \({\rm{X}}\) with pdf

\({\rm{f(x) = \{ }}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{k(1 - (x - 3}}{{\rm{)}}^2})}&{{\rm{2}} \le {\rm{x}} \le {\rm{4}}}\\{\rm{0}}&{{\rm{otherwise}}}\end{array}\)

a. Sketch the graph of \({\rm{f(x)}}\).

b. Find the value of \({\rm{k}}\).

c. What is the probability that the actual tracking weight is greater than the prescribed weight?

d. What is the probability that the actual weight is within \({\rm{.25 g}}\) of the prescribed weight?

e. What is the probability that the actual weight differs from the prescribed weight by more than \({\rm{.5 g}}\)?

Observations on burst strength (lb/in 2) were obtained both for test nozzle closure welds and for production cannister nozzle welds (鈥淧roper Procedures Are the Key to Welding Radioactive Waste Cannisters,鈥�
Welding J., Aug. 1997: 61鈥�67).
Test 7200 6100 7300 7300 8000 7400
7300 7300 8000 6700 8300
Cannister 5250 5625 5900 5900 5700 6050
5800 6000 5875 6100 5850 6600
