Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The required answers are stated as follows.

Explanation of Solution

The given data is,

Prod.lineA:15.9415.9815.9416.1615.8615.8615.9015.88Prod.lineB:15.9615.9416.0216.1015.9216.0015.9616.02

The formula to calculate the mean of set of data is,

Mean(x¯)=x1+x2+...+xnn=i1nxin

Here, xi is the ith data value and n is the number of data values in the data set.

Substitute 15.94,15.9815.94,...,15.88 for x1,x2,x3,...,x8 respectively in the formula.

Here number of data in the given data set is 8, substitute 8 for n in the formula.

Mean(x¯)=x1+x2+...+xnn=15.94+15.98+15.94+16.16+15.86+15.86+15.90+15.88815.94

Mean of A is 15.94.

Substitute 15.96, 15.94, 16.02,......16.02 for x1,x2,x3,...,x8 respectively in the formula.

Mean(x¯)=x1+x2+...+xnn=15.96+15.94+16.02+16.10+15.92+16.00+15.96+16.02815.99

Mean of B is 15.99.

The formula to calculate the median of set of ordered data is,

Median={(n+12)thvalue,n=odd12[(n2)thvalue+(n+12)thvalue],n=even

n is the number of data values in the data set.

Arrange the given data in increasing order.

Prod.lineA:15.8615.8615.8815.9015.9415.9415.9816.16Prod.lineB:15.9215.9415.9615.9616.0016.0216.0216.10

Number of values in data set is 8, it is even.

Substitute 8 for n in the formula for even number of data set A.

Median=12[(n2)thvalue+(n2+1)thvalue]=12[(82)thvalue+(82+1)thvalue]=12[4thvalue+5thvalue]=12[15.90+15.94]

Simplify further,

Median=12[15.90+15.94]=15.92

The median of A is 15.92.

Substitute 8 for n in the formula for even number of data set B.

Median=12[(n2)thvalue+(n2+1)thvalue]=12[(82)thvalue+(82+1)thvalue]=12[4thvalue+5thvalue]=12[15.96+16.00]

Simplify further,

Median=12[15.96+16.00]=15.98

The median of B is 15.98.

The most frequently occurred data is the mode.

Here, each of the data 15.86 in A occur 2 times.

Mode of the given data set A are 15.86.

Here, each of the data 15.96 in B occur 2 times.

Mode of the given data set B are 15.96.

Since, the mean value of set B is closer to diameter 16mm. Hence, set B is better than set A.

MATLAB Code:

A = [15.94, 15.98, 15.94, 16.16, 15.86, 15.86, 15.90, 15.88];

B = [15.96, 15.94, 16.02, 16.10, 15.92, 16.00, 15.96, 16.02];

mean_A = mean(A)

mean_B = mean(B)

median_A = median(A)

median_B = median(B)

mode_A = mode(A)

mode_B = mode(B)

stdev_A = std(A)

stdev_B = std(B)

Assume data were collected from a fairly urban state and they found 165 eight-year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 18096 eight-year olds evaluated. Assume data were then collected for a fairly rural state and they found 56 eight-year olds diagnosed with ASD out of 2400 eight-year olds evaluated. Is there enough evidence to show that the proportion of children diagnosed with ASD in the fairly urban state is lower than the proportion in the fairly rural state? a.) Test at the 4% level b.) Compute a 96% confidence interval for the difference in proportions. Use the following steps for the hypothesis test. For the confidence interval you do not need to do all the steps since you did some of them already in hypothesis test. Part a.) HYPOTHESIS TEST…
