1) A microwave manufacturing company has just switched to a new automated

production system. Unfortunately, the new machinery has been frequently failing
and requiring repairs and service. The company has been able to provide its
customers with a completion time of 6 days or less. To analyze whether the
completion time has increased, the production manager took a sample of 36 jobs
and found that the sample mean completion time was 6.5 days with a sample
standard deviation of 1.5 days. At a significance level of .10, test whether the
completion time has increased.

Sample size: 36
Sample standard deviation: 5
Sample mean: 6.5
Formulate a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim.

(Points: 10)

Ho: = 6.5; Ha: 6.5

Ho: 6; Ha: < 6
Ho: 6.5; Ha: > 6.5
Ho: > 6.5; Ha: 6.5

Answer:
Ho=u > 6
Ha= u < 6
If p-value is less than the alpha (.10) then we reject the null hypothesis (H0).
Alpha=.10
P=.9733
Go to Megastat:
Put data in excel (sample mean, standard deviation, sample size) = (6.5,1.5,36)
Choose Hypothesis Test, then Mean versus Hypothesied Value

A)Range=43
B) Median= 23
C) The range of data that contains 68%:
First find sample standard deviation from Megastat output = (+ or 14)
Then find the mean from Megastat output= 30.83
Calculate mean-standard deviation = (30.83-14.00)= 16.83
Calculate mean + standard deviation= (30.83 + 14.00)= 44.83
The range is 16.83 to 44.83
D) The range of data that would contain 95% of the results.
Mutliply 2 times the standard deviaton= 2 X 14.00= 28.00
Calculate mean + mutltiplied standard deviation= 30.83 + 28.00= 58.83
Calculate mean- multiplied standard deviation = 30.83 28.00= 2.83
The range is 58.83 to 2.83
E) Mode= 23
Notes: 68% is equal to +/- 1 standard deviation
95% is equal to +/- 2 standard deviation
99% is equal to +/- 3 standard deviation

4. (TCO C and D) Tesla Motors needs to buy axles for their new car. They are considering using Chris
Cross Manufacturing as a vendor. Teslas requirement is that 95% of the axles are 100 cm 2 cm. The
following data is MegaStat output from a test run from Chris Cross Manufacturing. Should Tesla select
them as a vendor? Explain your answer.

(Points: 25)
Answer:

95% of the axels are 100 cm +/- 2

100-2= 98
100=2= 102
Since the tolerance interval 95.45% column is 96.896 and the tolerance
interval 95.45% upper is 102.979, they should not select the vendor. They are
not in compliance with the requirement.

Notes:
68% is equal to +/- 1 standard deviation
95% is equal to +/- 2 standard deviation
99% is equal to +/- 3 standard deviation

Answer:
H0 > .02
H1< .02
Note: Level of significance is equal to the alpha. In this example .01
The p value (.0161) is more than alpha .01, so we cannot reject the null (H0)
