Stat Test questions and answers

A company produces a single product on three production lines that use different equipment. The production manager is considering changing the layouts of the lines and would like to know what effects different layouts would have on production output. Suppose that the manager measured the average output for each line over three randomly selected weeks using each of the three layouts under consideration. The output (in hundreds of units produced) was measured for each line for each of the four weeks for each layout being evaluated. The results are shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c below.

A company produces treadmills for use in exercise clubs and recreation centers. The treadmill motors are purchased from an outside vendor. Currently, the company is considering which motor to include in its new treadmill series. Three potential suppliers have been identified. The company has decided to make its decision based on how long a motor operates at a high level of speed and incline before it fails. A random sample of 10 motors of each type is selected, and each motor is tested to determine how many minutes (rounded to the nearest minute) it operates before it needs to be repaired. Use the accompanying sample information for each motor to complete parts and b.

  1. Is it possible for the company to decide on a single motor supplier based on the analysis of the sample results? Support your answer by conducting the appropriate post test analysis.

It

is

possible for the company to decide on a single motor supplier based on the analysis of the sample results. A post test analysis such as the Tukey-Kramer procedure

is

appropriate because the null hypothesis

was

rejected.

If the post-test analysis is appropriate, identify the differences between the motors using the Tukey-Kramer procedure. Select all that apply.

A.

Them mean for Motor B is significantly different than the mean for Motor C.

B.

The mean for Motor A is significantly different than the mean for Motor C.

This is the correct answer.

C.

The mean for Motor A is significantly different than the mean for Motor B.

D.

There are no differences between the means of any of the motors.

E.

The Tukey-Kramer procedure is not appropriate.

A company manufactures and ships four different products. Breakage cost is expensive, and the company would like to select a mode of delivery (rail, plane, or truck) that reduces the amount of breakage. The company decided to examine the dollar amount of breakage incurred by the three modes of transportation. In order to control for fragility differences due to type of product, the company randomly assigns each product to each carrier and monitors the dollar breakage that occurs over the course of 100 shipments. The dollar breakage per shipment (to the nearest dollar) is shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a and b.

A plywood company makes plywood for use in furniture production. In the first major step in the plywood process, a lathe rotates the logs through a knife that peels the log into layers. Ideally, when a log is reduced to a 4-inch core diameter, the lathe releases the core. Before peeling, the logs are conditioned in a heated water-filled vat to warm them. Two factors are believed to affect the core diameter: the vat temperature and the time the logs spend in the vat prior to peeling. The lathe supervisor recently conducted a test during which logs were peeled at each combination of temperature and time. The data are the core diameters in inches. Complete parts a through d.

parts was selected from those produced last week at plant A. The standard deviation for these parts was
