Quality control (2.2,5.3,6.3)Many manufacturing companies use statistical techniques to ensure that the products they make meet standards. One common way to do this is to take a random sample of products at regular intervals throughout the production shift. Assuming that the process is working properly, the mean measurements from these random samples will vary Normally around the target mean , with a standard deviation of . For each question that follows, assume that the process is working properly.

(a) What's the probability that at least one of the next two sample means will fall more than 2from the target mean ? Show your work.

(b) What's the probability that the first sample mean that is greater than +2is the one from the fourth sample taken?

(c) Plant managers are trying to develop a criterion for determining when the process is not working properly. One idea they have is to look at the 5 most recent sample means. If at least 4of the 5 fall outside the interval(-,+), they will conclude that the process isn't working. Is this a reasonable criterion? Justify your answer with an appropriate probability.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). The probability that at least one of the next two sample means P(X1)=0.0975.

b). P(1st larger than+2on 4th sample)=0.0232.

c). A reasonable criterion.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Random sample varies normal around the target mean with standard deviation .

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Rule of Multiplication:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

Rule of Complement

P(notA)=1-P(A)

The 68-95-99.7-rule informs us that 95% of the mean of the sample is within 2 of the mean and therefore 5% of the mean of the samples is greater than 2 of the mean.

P(within2fromthemean)=95%=0.95

P(greater than2from the mean)=5%=0.05

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

Rule of Multiplication:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

Suppose that Xis the number of samples, which implies that the mean is more than P(X=0)=P(within2from the mean)2

=0.952

=0.9025

Rule of Complement

P(notA)=1-P(A)

It could then determine the chances of having more than 2from the mean of minimum one of the two samples.

P(X1)=1-P(X=0)

=1-0.9025

=0.0975

04

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Random sample varies normal around the target mean with standard deviation .

05

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Multiplication rule:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

The 68-95-99.7-rule informs us that 95%of the mean of the sample is within 2of the mean and therefore 5%of the mean of the samples is greater than 2of the mean.

P(larger than+2)=2.5%=0.025P(less than+2)=97.5%=0.975

Multiplication rule:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

If the 4thsample is the 1stsample with a mean larger than +2,

Then the 3previous samples have a mean less than +2.

localid="1650392399658" P(1st larger than+2on 4th sample)=P(less than+2)3P(larger than+2)

localid="1650392417061" =0.97530.025=0.0232

06

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

Random sample varies normal around the target mean with standard deviation .

07

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Multiplication rule:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

The 68-95-99.7-rule informs us that 95%of the mean of the sample is within 2of the mean and therefore 5%of the mean of the samples is greater than 2of the mean.

Sample mean in (-,+).

Probability =68%=0.68.

Sample mean not in (-,+).

Probability =32%=0.32.

08

Part (c) Step 3: Explanation

Multiplication rule:

P(AandB)=P(A)P(B)

Suppose Xis the number of samples means in (-,+)from the5-sample means.

Sample mean not in (-,+)

P(X=0)=P(Sample mean not in(-,+))5=0.325=0.003355

Sample mean not in (-,+).

P(X=0)=5P(Sample mean not in(-,+))4

P(Sample mean not in(-,+))

=50.3240.68=0.035652

Add the associating probability

P(X1)=0.003355+0.035652

=0.039007

=3.9007%

Since the probability is below 5percent, it is unlikely that this occurrence will happen by chance and this is thus a reasonable criterion.

A fast-food restaurant uses an automated filling machine to pour its soft drinks. The machine has different settings for small, medium, and large drink cups. According to the machine鈥檚 manufacturer, when the large setting is chosen, the amount of liquid dispensed by the machine follows a Normal distribution with mean 27ounces and standard deviation 0.8ounces. When the medium setting is chosen, the amount of liquid dispensed follows a Normal distribution with mean 17ounces and standard deviation 0.5ounces. To test the manufacturer鈥檚 claim, the restaurant manager measures the amount of liquid in a random sample of 25cups filled with the medium setting and a separate random sample of 20 cups filled with the large setting. Let x1-x2be the difference in the sample mean amount of liquid under the two settings (large 鈥 medium). Find the probability thatx1-x2 is more than 12 ounces. Show your work.

39. Shoes How many pairs of shoes do teenagers have? To find out, a group of AP Statistics students conducted a survey. They selected a random sample of 20female students and a separate random sample of 20male students from their school. Then they recorded the number of pairs of shoes that each respondent reported having. The back-to-back stemplot below displays the data.

46. Happy customers As the Hispanic population in the United States has grown, businesses have tried to understand what Hispanics like. One study inter-viewed a random sample of customers leaving a bank. Customers were classified as Hispanic if they preferred to be interviewed in Spanish or as Anglo if they preferred English. Each customer rated the importance
of several aspects of bank service on a 10-point scale. Here are summary results for the importance of 鈥渞eliability鈥 (the accuracy of account records and so on):

(a) The distribution of reliability ratings in each group is not Normal. A graph of the data reveals no outliers. The use of two-sample t procedures is
justified. Why?
(b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean ratings of the importance of reliability for Anglo and
Hispanic bank customers.
(c) Interpret the 95% confidence level in the context of this study.

Web business You want to compare the daily sales for two different designs of Web pages for your Internet business. You assign the next 60days to either Design A or Design B, 30days to each.

(a) Describe how you would assign the days for Design A and Design B using the partial line of random digits provided below. Then use your plan to select the first three days for using Design A. Show your method clearly on your paper.

(b) Would you use a one-sided or a two-sided significance test for this problem? Explain your choice. Then set up appropriate hypotheses.

(c) If you plan to use Table B to calculate the P-value, what are the degrees of freedom?

(d) The t statistic for comparing the mean sales is 2.06Using Table B, what P-value would you report? What would you conclude?

One major reason that the two-sample t procedures are widely used is that they are quite robust. This means that

(a) t procedures do not require that we know the standard deviations of the populations.

(b) t procedures work even when the Random, Normal, and Independent conditions are violated.

(c) t procedures compare population means, a comparison that answers many practical questions.

(d) confidence levels and P-values from the t procedures are quite accurate even if the population distribution is not exactly Normal.

(e) confidence levels and P-values from the t procedures are quite accurate even if outliers and strong skewness are present
