Chapter 1: Q3E (page 12)

Consider the population consisting of all computers of acertain brand and model, and focus on whether a computerneeds service while under warranty.

a. Pose several probability questions based on selecting a sample of 100 such computers.

b. What inferential statistics question might be answeredby determining the number of such computers in a sample of size 100 that need warranty service?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.What is the expected number among the 100 that need warranty service.

b.Does the sample provide compelling evidenceforconcluding that more than 10% of all such computersneed warranty service?

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The population consists of all computers of a certain brand and model.

02

State the probability questions

a.

1)What is the expected number among the 100 that need warranty service.

2) How likely is it that the number needing warrantyservice will exceed the expected number by more than 10?

3)How likely is it that more than half of the sampled computerswill need or have needed warranty service?

03

State the inferential statistics questions

b.

Suppose that 15 of the 100 sampled needed warrantyservice. How confident can we be that the proportion ofallsuch computers needing warranty service is between.08 and .22? Does the sample provide compelling evidenceforconcluding ;that more than 10% of all such computersneed warranty service?

How does the speed of a runner vary over the course of a marathon (a distance of 42.195 km)? Consider determining both the time to run the first 5 km and the time to run between the 35-km and 40-km points, and then subtracting the former time from the latter time. A positive value of this difference corresponds to a runner slowing down toward the end of the race. The accompanying histogram is based on times of runners who participated in several different Japanese marathons (鈥淔actors Affecting Runners鈥� Marathon Performance,鈥� Chance, Fall, 1993: 24鈥�30).What are some interesting features of this histogram? What is a typical difference value? Roughly what proportion of the runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance?

Give one possible sample of size 4 from each of the following

populations:

a. All daily newspapers published in the United States

b. All companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange

c. All students at your college or university

d. All grade point averages of students at your college or university

A sample of 26 offshore oil workers took part in a simulated escape exercise, resulting in the accompanying data on time (sec) to complete the escape (鈥淥xygen Consumption and Ventilation During Escape from an Offshore Platform,鈥� Ergonomics, 1997: 281鈥�292):

389 356 359 363 375 424 325 394 402

373 373 370 364 366 364 325 339 393

392 369 374 359 356 403 334 397

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display of the data. How does it suggest that the sample mean and median will compare?

b. Calculate the values of the sample mean and median.(Hint:\(\sum {{x_i} = } \)9638.)

c. By how much could the largest time, currently 424, be increased without affecting the value of the sample median? By how much could this value be decreased without affecting the value of the sample median?

d. What are the values of \(\bar x\)and \(\tilde x\), when the observations are re expressed in minutes?

Do running times of American movies differ somehow from running times of French movies? The author investigated this question by randomly selecting 25 recent movies of each type, resulting in the following

running times:

Am: 94 90 95 93 128 95 125 91 104 116 162 102 90

110 92 113 116 90 97 103 95 120 109 91 138

Fr: 123 116 90 158 122 119 125 90 96 94 137 102

105 106 95 125 122 103 96 111 81 113 128 93 92

Construct a comparativestem-and-leaf display by listing stems in the middle of your paper and then placing the Am leaves out to the left and the Fr leaves out to the right. Then comment on interesting features of thedisplay.

The article 鈥淢onte Carlo Simulation鈥擳ool for Better Understanding of LRFD鈥� (J. of Structural Engr., \({\rm{1993: 1586 - 1599}}\)) suggests that yield strength (\({\rm{ksi}}\)) for A36 grade steel is normally distributed with \({\rm{\mu = 43}}\) and \({\rm{\sigma = 4}}{\rm{.5 }}\)

a. What is the probability that yield strength is at most \({\rm{40}}\)? Greater than \({\rm{60}}\)?

b. What yield strength value separates the strongest \({\rm{75\% }}\) from the others?
