Answer #1

This is a normal Probability plot created by first arranging X values in ascending order, then finding fi(theoritical freauencies) by using the formula :

fi=(i+0.375)/(n+0.25) where i=1,2,....18 that is position in data set and zi is corresponding z score.

The plot is obtained by plotting X values in X axis and zi values in Y axis.

Since the line in the plot is looking like a 45degree line we say that data comes from approximately normal distribution.

An important statistical measurement in service facilities (such as restaurants and banks) is the variability in service times. As an experiment, two bank tellers were observed, and the service times for each of 100 customers were recorded. Do these data allow us to infer at the 5% significance level that the variance in service times differs between the two tellers? Estimate with 95% confidence the ratio of variances of the two bank tellers. Teller 1 Teller 2 7.2 10.9 5.4...

Please show your work 11.3.2 Levi-Strauss Co manufactures clothing. The quality control department measures weekly values of different suppliers for the percentage difference of waste between the layout on the computer and the actual waste when the clothing is made (called run-up). The data is in table #11.3.3, and there are some negative values because sometimes the supplier is able to layout the pattern better than the computer ("Waste run up," 2013). Do the data show that there is a...

We want to compare the soil water content (% water by volume) of two fields growing bell peppers. The claim is that the two fields have different soil water content. Use the data below to test the hypothesis that the fields have different soil water content. Field 1 is in list1 and Field 2 is in list2. We do not know whether the water content values are normally distributed or not, but their variances are equal. Provide your answers below....

We wish to determine the impact of Specification Buying, X11, on Satisfaction Level, X10. To do so we will split the Hatco data file into two separate data sets based on the Specification Buying, X11. This variable has two categories: 1=employs total value analysis approach, evaluating each purchase separately; 0 = use of specification buying. Sort the entire Hatco data set based on Specification Buying. This will create two separate groups of records. Those records with X11 = 0 and...

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Baldwin to pull the product Bill entirely off the market this year. Assume Baldwin scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Baldwin or other companies. Without Baldwin's product Bill how much can the industry currently produce in the...
