A quality control engineer at a manufacturing plant is trying to determine the variation of parts that an operator is making with a particular machine. She takes a sample of nparts and, for each part in the sample, measures how much the part width differs from the specifications for the part. She then uses the mean and standard deviation of these values to estimate the mean value for all parts the operator is making. Constructa 95% confidence interval for the mean value assuming a normal distribution and:n= 25mean of sample = .003 instandard deviation of sample = .001 in
t critical value at 0.05 significance level with 24 df = 2.064
95% confidence interval for is

Question 21 3 pts A quality control engineer measures a sample of 81 parts coming off an assembly line. The sample mean length is 4.9 cm, and the standard deviation is 4 cm. Find the P-value for testing H: < 5 versus H:> 5 where ji is the population mean.
3 Scenario 1 A quality control engineer is interested in the mean length of sheet insulation being cut automatically by machine. It is known that the standard deviation in the cutting length that this machine produces is 0.20 feet. A sample of 75 cut sheets yields a mean length of 12.25 feet. This sample will be used to obtain a confidence interval for the mean length cut by machine. Referring to Scenario 1, the 95% confidence interval goes from to...
Bob the Quality Control Engineer wishes to determine the mean mass of apples grown in Tallula's orchard. A sample of 7 randomly-chosen apples has a mean mass of 112 g with a sample standard deviation of 32 g. Using a t-distribution, find a 90% one-sided lower confidence bound on the population mean mass of apples in grams. Give your answer to one decimal place.
A quality control engineer is interested in the mean length of sheet insulation being cut automatically by machine. The desired length of the insulation is 12 metres. It is known that the standard deviation in the cutting length is 0.15 metres. A sample of 144 cut sheets yield a mean length of 12.14 metres. This sample will be used to obtain a 90% confidence interval for the mean length cut by machine. What are the two limits of the confidence...
UNILCI Gun) Bob the Wine Quality Control Engineer wishes to determine the population mean potassium bitartrate concentration in wine produced at Tallula's Fine Liquors. Bob studies a sample consisting of 81 wine bottles. He finds the sample mean potassium bitartrate concentration is 0.800 g/L with a sample standard deviation of 0.110 g/L. Construct a 90% two-sided confidence interval on the population mean potassium bitartrate concentration. Give your answer to four decimal places. Show your work.
A quality control engineer is interested in the mean length of sheet insulation being cut automatically by machine. The desired mean length of the insulation is 12 feet. It is known that the standard deviation in the cutting length is 0.15 feet. A sample of 70 cut sheets yields a mean length of 12.14 feet. This sample will be used to obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean length cut by machine. Determine whether the statement is true or...
In the production of a particular resin, quality control is tested by measuring the viscosity (in units of centi-poise) of the pre-cursor liquid (which is a strong function of the pre-cursor liquid composition). As a process engineer assigned to the plant, over the course of a production run you measure the following 5 values: 2.82 2.79 2.81 2.88 2.82 (a) Report the average value of the pre-cursor viscosity along with the 95% confidence interval. It is suspected that a successful...
A container of car antifreeze is supposed to hold 3785 mL of the liquid. Realizing that there is variation in the filling of the containers, the quality-control manager of the Taconic Chemical Company wants to be quite sure that the standard deviation of the filling process is less than 30 ml. Otherwise some containers would overflow and others would not have enough coolant. A random sample of 40 containers is selected and the mean is 3789 ml and the standard...
A quality control specialist for a restaurant chain takes a random sample of size 10 to check the amount of soda served in the 16 oz. serving size. The sample mean is 13.20 with a sample standard deviation of 1.51. Assume the underlying population is normally distributed. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true population mean for the amount of soda served.
9. A quality control engineer believes that cars produced on Friday have more defects. From past experience, the engineer believes that the mean number of defects for all cars is 3.6 with a standard deviation of 1.8. She tests 26 cars produced on Friday and finds the mean number of defects for these cars is 4.4 defects. Test to determine if Friday’s cars have more defects using the prob-value approach and α = 0.02.
