Chapter 5: Q69SE (page 324)

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.

Video game players and divided attention tasks. Human Factors (May 2014) published the results of a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non鈥搗ideo game players at crossing the street when presented with distractions. Participants (college students) entered a street-crossing simulator. The simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. During the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. The researchers found that students who are video game players took an average of 5.1 seconds to cross the street, with a standard deviation of .8 second. Assume that the time, x, to cross the street for the population of video game players has , Now consider a sample of 30 students and let x represent the sample mean time (in seconds) to cross the street in the simulator.

a. Find Px炉>5.5

b. The 30 students in the sample are all non鈥搗ideo game players. What inference can you make about and/or for the population of non鈥搗ideo game players? Explain.

Consider the following probability distribution:

  1. Findand蟽2.
  2. Find the sampling distribution of the sample mean x for a random sample of n = 2 measurements from this distribution
  3. Show that xis an unbiased estimator of 渭. [Hint: Show that.]鈭�x=鈭�xpx=渭.]
  4. Find the sampling distribution of the sample variances2for a random sample of n = 2 measurements from this distribution.

Motivation of drug dealers. Refer to the Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice (September 2009) investigation of the personality characteristics of drug dealers, Exercise 2.80 (p. 111). Convicted drug dealers were scored on the Wanting Recognition (WR) Scale. This scale provides a quantitative measure of a person鈥檚 level of need for approval and sensitivity to social situations. (Higher scores indicate a greater need for approval.) Based on the study results, we can assume that the WR scores for the population of convicted drug dealers have a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose that in a sample of 100 people, the mean WR scale score is x = 42. Is this sample likely selected from the population of convicted drug dealers? Explain.

Corporate sustainability of CPA firms. Refer to the Business and Society (March 2011) study on the sustainability behaviours of CPA corporations, Exercise 1.28 (p. 51). Corporate sustainability, recall, refers to business practices designed around social and environmental considerations. The level of support senior managers has for corporate sustainability was measured quantitatively on a scale ranging from 0 to 160 points. The study provided the following information on the distribution of levels of support for sustainability:渭=68 , 蟽=27. Now consider a random sample of 45 senior managers and let x represent the sample mean level of support.

a. Give the value of 渭x炉, the mean of the sampling distribution ofx炉 , and interpret the result.

b. Give the value of蟽x炉 , the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x炉, and interpret the result.

c. What does the Central Limit Theorem say about the shape of the sampling distribution ofx炉 ?

d. Find Px炉>65.

Question:A random sample of n = 500 observations is selected from a binomial population with p = .35.

a. Give the mean and standard deviation of the (repeated) sampling distribution ofp^the sample proportion of successes for the 500 observations.

b. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of p^. Does your answer depend on the sample size?
