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)

If you use TI calculator functions, you may write your work along with functions and values you I used and answers on a paper or type on an empty Word document or Excel file. If you use Ti calculator app on your computer or phone, you may provide screen shots of those on a word document or Excel file. Clearly provide the function along with values for the work. If you use Excel, you may use the Excel calculator or Excel as a calculator on your computer to provide complete work and the final answer on it. Please provide all the answers to the following questions on the same Excel sheet. If you use formula, you may write all your steps with numbers on a paper and submit a photo of it. Otherwise, you may type all those steps on a Word document or an Excel file. Do NOT round in the middle steps…
Suppose the model for certain data is a parabola y = Bo+B1x+B2x² with observations (1, 2.2), (2, 6.9), (3, 16.1), (4, 28.7), (5, 46.1). Describe the design matrix, the observation vector, and the parameter vector. Using these write down the system of equations to be approximated Xẞ = y, the parts of the normal equations XTX and XTy and write down the normal equations. Solve and determine the residual vector €. You may use a calculator for the computations but show the steps as described above.
