Assignment six = 20 points:

1. In many educational institutions, the Athletic Department does a

better job of teaching teamwork than do the other units. What
skills can AET faculty learn about teaching teamwork by
examining the analogy of a successful athletic team?

One thing that the Athletic department does is, it gives the team
members a common goal and inspiration the achievement of
winning the championship. The AD works the team together in
drills even if the members do not like each other or have anything
in common.

2. The tensile strength of a fiber used in manufacturing cloth is of

interest to the purchaser. Previous experience indicates that the
standard deviation of tensile strength is 2 psi. A random sample
of eight fiber specimens is selected, and the average tensile
strength is found to be 127 psi.
 Test the hypothesis that the mean tensile strength equals
125 psi versus the alternative that the mean exceeds 125
psi. Use α=0.05.
(a)What is the P-value for this test?
(b)Discuss why a one-sided alternative was chosen in
part (a).
(c) Construct a 95% lower confidence interval on the
mean tensile strength.
A. H0 = 125 σ = 2 psi ẋ = 127 n =8
Ha > 125
Z0 =(ẋ-µ)/σ*√n = 127-125/2*√8=2.828
Za = .05 = 1.645
p-value = 1- Φ(Z0) = 1- Φ(2.828) = 1- 0.9977 =.00230
 B. One sided was chosen because we are looking for a greater
than value and not an “not equal value”
C. ẋ- Za(σ√n) ≤µ
127-1.645(2/√8)≤ µ
125.8 ≤ µ

3. (A machine is used to fill containers with a liquid product. Fill volume can be
assumed to be normally distributed. A random sample of 10 containers is
selected, and the net contents (oz) are as follows: 12.03, 12.01, 12.04,
12.02, 12.05, 11.98, 11.96, 12.02, 12.05, and 11.99.
(a) Suppose that the manufacturer wants to be sure that the mean net
content exceeds 12 oz. What conclusions can be drawn from the data
(use α=0.01)?
ẋ =12.015 σ = .0303 n= 10 µ = 12
H0 = 12
Ha ≠ 12

4. Using the data bellow (Table 7.1 at your text) answer the
following question (Using Minitab).
a. Calculate mean, mode, median, standard deviation and
variance for the data in Table 7.1.

c. Using correlation coefficient formula or Minitab, find the

correlation coefficient between width and gauge. What does this
mean?
Correlations: Width, Gauge

Pearson correlation of Width and Gauge = -0.125

P-Value = 0.227
5. Determine the trial central line and control limits for a p chart
using the following data, which are for the payment of dental
insurance claims. Plot the values on graph paper and determine
if the process is stable. If there are any out -of-control points,
 assume an assignable cause and determine the revised central
line and control limits.

7. An np chart is to be established on a painting process that is in

statistical control. If 35 pieces are to be inspected every 4
hours, and the fraction nonconforming is 0.06, determine the
central line and control limits.
Total number of parts = 35*4 = 140
UCL = 140 + (140*.06) = 148.4
Center line = 140
LCL = 140- (140*.06) = 131.6

8. A quality technician has collected data on the count of rivet

nonconformities in four meters travel trailers. After 30 trailers,
the total count of non-conformities is 316. Trial control limits
have been determined and a comparison with the data shows
 no out-of-control points. What is the recommendation for the
central line and the revised control limits for a count of
nonconformities chart?
The recommendation should be to take the highest
nonconformities and revise the limits to a tighter dispersion the rerun
the test to see if the revision gives a better idea what is in control.
