Chapter 8: Q69SE (page 452)

Question:Quality control. Refer to Exercise 5.68. The mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is supposed to be .5 inch. The company decides to use the sample mean from Exercise 5.68 to decide whether the process is in control (i.e., whether it is producing bearings with a mean diameter of .5 inch). The machine will be considered out of control if the mean of the sample of n = 25 diameters is less than .4994 inch or larger than .5006 inch. If the true mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is .501 inch, what is the approximate probability that the test will imply that the process is out of control?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the test will imply that the process is out of control is 0.97725.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The sample size is 25

The mean is 0.501.inch

The standard deviation is 0.001.inch

The standard deviation of x炉is calculated as

蟽X炉=蟽n=0.00125=0.0002

02

Explanation

The probability is computed as

px炉<0.4994=px炉-渭蟽n<0.4994-0.5010.0002=pz<-0.00160.0002=pz<-8=0

And

px炉>0.5006=px炉-渭蟽n>0.5006-0.5010.0002=pz>-0.00040.0002=pz>-2=0.97725

Here we used equation 1 & 2 to get required probability.

px炉<0.4994+px炉>0.5006=0+0.97725=0.97725

Hence, the probability is 0.97725

Traffic sign maintenance. Refer to the Journal of Transportation Engineering (June 2013) study of traffic sign maintenance in North Carolina, Exercise 8.54 (p. 489). Recall that the proportion of signs on NCDOT-maintained roads that fail minimum requirements was compared to the corresponding proportion for signs on county-owned roads. How many signs should be sampled from each maintainer to estimate the difference between the proportions to within .03 using a 90% confidence interval? Assume the same number of signs will be sampled from NCDOT-maintained roads and county-owned roads

To use the t-statistic to test for a difference between the means of two populations, what assumptions must be made about the two populations? About the two samples?
