One reason is that the first order approxi- mation may not always be good enough. Since 0. Since there will be 70 positions, the applicant will have the job. Solving 0. So, we need to calculate the average of this quantity.

The marginal densities of X and Y are, respectively, x 0 1 2 y 0 1 2 3 4 5 g x 0. Chapter 5 Some Discrete Probability Distributions 5. This probability is not very small so this is not a rare event. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 5 57 5.

Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 5 59 5. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 5 61 5. However, the 1st one can be either bad or good. So, there is a small prospects for bankruptcy. Perhaps more items should be sampled. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 5 65 22 30 5. Therefore, the claim does not seem right. Chapter 6 Some Continuous Probability Distributions 1 6. Therefore, from Table A. From Table A. Therefore, the total area to the left of k is 0. Therefore, 0.

Therefore, Therefore, 1. He is late P Fraction of poodles weighing over 9. Fraction of poodles weighing at most 8. Fraction of poodles weighing between 7. Proportion of components exceeding That is from 0 to Let Y be the number of days a person is served in less than 3 minutes. To compute median, notice the c. Hence a product is undesirable is 2. However, for smaller values such as 10, the normal population will give you smaller probabilities.

Since the average time between two calls in 6. Therefore, the mean and variance of the number of calls per hour should all be 6. The negative number in reaction time is not reasonable. So, it means that the normal model may not be accurate enough.

Thus the drill bit of problem 6. A drill bit is a mechanical part that certainly will have significant wear over time. Hence the exponential distribution would not apply. Chapter 7 Functions of Random Variables 7. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 7 81 7. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 7 83 7. This is a uniform 0,1 distribution.

The mean should not be used on account of the extreme value 95, and the mode is not desirable because the sample size is too small.

Therefore, the variance of the sample mean is reduced from 0. Therefore, the variance of the sample mean is increased from 0. So, 8. So, P Therefore, the number of sample means between Therefore, about 0. There- fore, the mean amount to be 0. So, P 3. This means that the assumption of the equality of the population means are not reasonable.

Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 8 89 8. No, this is not very strong evidence that the population mean of the process exceeds the government limit. Conclusion values are not valid. Since the value Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 8 91 8.

So, the result is inconclusive. Since, from Table A. Hence the variances may not be equal. Hence, by solving 2. Hence, by equating 2. Note that Table A. However, one can deduce the conclusion based on the values in the last line of the table. Also, computer software gives the value of 0.

Also, z0. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 9 99 9. The tolerance interval is So, The tolerance interval is 1. So, the upper limit is 3. Since t0. So, the interval is So, the tolerance interval is So, the tolerance limit is Since 62 exceeds the lower bound of the interval, yes, this is a cause of concern.

Since 6. The lower bound of the one-sided tolerance interval is Their claim is not necessarily correct. Hence, the tolerance limits are 1. Hence the claim is valid. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 9 9. It is known that z0. The treatment appears to reduce the mean amount of metal removed. So, 4. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 9 80 40 9.

From this study we conclude that there is a sig- nificantly higher proportion of women in electrical engineering than there is in chemical engineering. So, 4 0. Hence, 19 6. Hence, 8 0. Hence, 11 2. So, 1. This is called the largest order statistic of the sample. Then solve them to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 9 28 9. Since z0. Since the interval contains 0. So, 2. Since 0 is not in the interval, the claim appears valid. Hence, polishing does increase the average endurance limit.

Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 9 b Since the sample sizes are large enough, it is not necessary to assume the normality due to the Central Limit Theorem. However, in contrast with other books for the intended audience, this book by Akritas emphasizes not only the interpretation of software output, but also the generation of this output. Applications are diverse and relevant, and come from a variety of fields.

Score: 3. This means acquiring a solid foundation in the methods of data analysis and synthesis. Understanding the theoretical aspects is important, but learning to properly apply the theory to real-world problems is essential.

The second edition of this bestselling text introduces probability, statistics, reliability, and risk methods with an ideal balance of theory and applications. Clearly written and firmly focused on the practical use of these methods, it places increased emphasis on simulation, particularly as a modeling tool, applying it progressively with projects that continue in each chapter.

It also features expanded discussions of the analysis of variance including single- and two-factor analyses and a thorough treatment of Monte Carlo simulation.

The authors clearly establish the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of each method, but also show that data analysis is a continuum rather than the isolated application of different methods.

Probability, Statistics, and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists, Second Edition, was designed as both a reference and as a textbook, and it serves each purpose well. Ultimately, readers will find its content of great value in problem solving and decision making, particularly in practical applications.

Decision: Reject H0 ; the variances are significantly different. Decision: Reject H0 ; diets do have a significant effect on mean percent dry matter.

Decision: Reject H0 ; zinc is significantly different among the diets. Materials 1 and 3 have better results with machine 1 but material 2 has better results with machine 2.

The residual and normal probability plots are shown here: 0. Decision: Reject H0 ; the mean ozone levels differ significantly across the locations. Interaction is not significant, while both main effects, environment and strain, are all significant. Coating and humidity do not interact, while both main effects are all significant. An interaction plot is given here. Hence, if 0. Although the main effects of speed showed insignificance, we might not make such a conclusion since its effects might be masked by significant interaction.

Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 14 b In the graph shown, we claim that the cutting speed that results in the longest life of the machine tool depends on the tool geometry, although the variability of the life is greater with tool geometry at level 1.

Hence, a high cutting speed has longer life for tool geometry 1. Hence, a low cutting speed has longer life for tool geometry 2. For the above detailed analysis, we note that the standard deviations for the mean life are much higher at tool geometry 1. Hence, the results on the main effects can be considered meaningful to the scien- tist. In this case, usually the degrees of freedom of errors are small. If we compare the mean differences of the method within the overall ANOVA model, we obtain the P -values for testing the differences of the methods at Lab 1 and 7 as 0.

Hence, methods are no difference in Lab 1 and are significantly different in Lab 7. Similar results may be found in the interaction plot in d.

There is a significant time effect. There is a significant copper effect. The interaction plot is show here. There seems no interaction effect. Also, time 2 has lower magnesium uptake than time 1. All the main effects are significant. They are all significant at a level larger 2 than 0.

Model in b would be more appropriate. However, due to significant interactions men- tioned in a , the insignificance of A and C cannot be counted.

Hence, although the overall test on factor C is insignificant, it is misleading since the significance of the effect C is masked by the significant interaction between A and C. Hence at level of 0. All these are significant. Hence, they are all signif- icant. On the other hand, the Stress main effect is strongly significant as well.

However, both other main effects, Coating and Humidity, cannot be claimed as insignificant, since they are all part of the two significant interactions. It appears to work best with medium humidity and an uncoated surface. The insignificance of the main effect B may not be valid due to the significant BC interaction. Also, using factor A at level 1 is the best. Hence, the interaction is at least marginally significant. The tests of the method effect for different type of gold yields the P -values as 0.

Here is an interaction plot. So, three brands averaged across the other two factore are significantly different. There is no significant interaction variance component. Therefore, 2 observations for each treatment combination are sufficient. There does not appear to be an effect due to the inspector. There does not appear to be an effect due to the inspector by inspector level.

Mean inspection levels were significantly different in determining failures per pieces. An interaction plot is given. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 14 5. However, the interaction effects appear to be significant. For cake flour, however, there were no big differences in the effect of sweetener concentration. Hence, there is no significant interaction when only A and B are considered. Therefore, the contrast is significant. Hence, Humidity effect is insignificant when Type C is used.

The main effect of Flour is strongly significant. In the main effects, only A and B are significant. However, the general patterns of the gel generated are pretty similar for the two Solvent levels. It might be useful to try some additional runs at this combination.

Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 14 It would be better to transform the data to get at least stable variance. Two main effects, Teller and Time, are all significant. To check on whether the assumption of the standard analysis of variance is violated, residual analysis may used to do diagnostics.

Chapter 15 2k Factorial Experiments and Fractions 2 However, due to the significance of the 3-way interaction, the insignificance of BC effect cannot be counted. Interaction plots are given. Since BC is significant, the insignificant main effect B, the Blade Speed, cannot be declared insignificant. Interaction plots for BC at different levels of A are given here.

Averaged across Feed Rate a high concentration of reagent yields significantly higher viscosity, and averaged across concentration a low level of Feed Rate yields a higher level of viscosity. Here is the interaction plot of AB.

AB Interaction 1 B For BC, at the low level of B, Factor C has a strong negative effect, but at the high level of B, the negative effect of C is not as pronounced. For AB, at the high level of B, A clearly has no effect.

At the low level of B, A has a strong negative effect. Variable Degrees of Freedom Estimate f P -value x1 1 5. When the Cutting Angle is large, Cutting Speed has a negative effect. If we assume that interactions are negligible, we may use this experiment to estimate the main effects. Using the data, the effects can be obtained as A: 1. Hence Factor B, Tool Geometry, seems more significant than the other two factors. Therefore BD is also confounded with days. There are possible quadratic terms missing in the model.

So x2 , x3 , x1 x2 and x1 x3 are impor- tant in the model. It is significant. Since AD and ABC are confounded with blocks there are only 2 degrees of freedom for error from the unconfounded interactions. Factor E is the only significant effect, at level 0. So, assuming that two-factor as well as higher order interactions are negligible, a test on the main effects is given in the ANOVA table. Comparatively factors A and C are more significant than the other two.

Note that the degrees of freedom on the error term is only 3, the test is not very powerful. There are total 7 two-factor in- teractions that can be estimated. Solutions for Exercises in Chapter 15 So, factor C, the amount of grain refiner, appears to be most important.

The following are two interaction plots. The lack-of-fit test results in an f -value of Hence, higher- order terms are needed in the model. The t-tests are given as Variable t P -value Intercept 4. The requirement that there must be tests on main effects and the interactions suggests that partial confounding be used The following design is indicated: Block Block Block 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 a a 1 1 ab ab b ab b a a Rep 1 Rep 2 Rep 3 Hence, it must be a resolution IV design.
