1.3 (a) A dot plot is shown below.
200 205 210 215 220 225 230 In the figure, “×” represents the “No aging” group and “◦” represents the “Aging” group. (b) Yes; tensile strength is greatly reduced due to the aging process. (c) MeanAging = 209.90, and MeanNo aging = 222.10. (d) MedianAging = 210.00, and MedianNo aging = 221.50. The means and medians for each group are similar to each other.
1.4 (a) X¯A = 7.950 and X˜A = 8.250; X¯B = 10.260 and X˜B = 10.150. (b) A dot plot is shown below.
6.5 7.5 8.5 9.5 10.5 11. In the figure, “×” represents company A and “◦” represents company B. The steel rods made by company B show more flexibility.
1.5 (a) A dot plot is shown below.

In the figure, “×” represents the control group and “◦” represents the treatment group. (b) X¯Control = 5.60, X˜Control = 5.00, and X¯tr(10);Control = 5.13; X¯Treatment = 7.60, X˜Treatment = 4.50, and X¯tr(10);Treatment = 5.63. (c) The difference of the means is 2.0 and the differences of the medians and the trimmed means are 0.5, which are much smaller. The possible cause of this might be due to the extreme values (outliers) in the samples, especially the value of 37.
1.6 (a) A dot plot is shown below.
1.95 2.05 2.15 2.25 2.35 2.45 2. In the figure, “×” represents the 20◦C group and “◦” represents the 45◦C group. (b) X¯ 20 ◦C = 2.1075, and X¯ 45 ◦C = 2.2350. (c) Based on the plot, it seems that high temperature yields more high values of tensile strength, along with a few low values of tensile strength. Overall, the temperature does have an influence on the tensile strength. (d) It also seems that the variation of the tensile strength gets larger when the cure temper- ature is increased.

1.9 (a) s^2 No Aging = (^101) − 1 [(227 − 222 .10)^2 + (222 − 222 .10)^2 + · · · + (221 − 222 .10)^2 ] = 23.66; sNo Aging =
s^2 Aging = (^101) − 1 [(219 − 209 .90)^2 + (214 − 209 .90)^2 + · · · + (205 − 209 .90)^2 ] = 42.10; sAging =
(b) Based on the numbers in (a), the variation in “Aging” is smaller that the variation in “No Aging” although the difference is not so apparent in the plot.
1.10 For company A: s^2 A = 1.2078 and sA =
For company B: s^2 B = 0.3249 and sB =
1.11 For the control group: s^2 Control = 69.38 and sControl = 8.33. For the treatment group: s^2 Treatment = 128.04 and sTreatment = 11.32.
1.12 For the cure temperature at 20◦C: s^220 ◦C = 0.005 and s 20 ◦C = 0.071. For the cure temperature at 45◦C: s^245 ◦C = 0.0413 and s 45 ◦C = 0.2032. The variation of the tensile strength is influenced by the increase of cure temperature.
1.13 (a) Mean = X¯ = 124.3 and median = X˜ = 120; (b) 175 is an extreme observation.
1.14 (a) Mean = X¯ = 570.5 and median = X˜ = 571; (b) Variance = s^2 = 10; standard deviation= s = 3.162; range=10; (c) Variation of the diameters seems too big so the quality is questionable.
1.15 Yes. The value 0.03125 is actually a P -value and a small value of this quantity means that the outcome (i.e., HHHHH) is very unlikely to happen with a fair coin.

10 20 30 40 50 60 70 In the figure, “×” represents the nonsmoker group and “◦” represents the smoker group. (d) Smokers appear to take longer time to fall asleep and the time to fall asleep for smoker group is more variable.

(b) X¯ 1980 = 395.1 and X¯ 1990 = 160.2. (c) The sample mean for 1980 is over twice as large as that of 1990. The variability for 1990 decreased also as seen by looking at the picture in (a). The gap represents an increase of over 400 ppm. It appears from the data that hydrocarbon emissions decreased considerably between 1980 and 1990 and that the extreme large emission (over 500 ppm) were no longer in evidence.

(d) The relationship between load and wear in (c) is not as strong as the case in (a), especially for the load at 1300. One reason is that there is an extreme value (750) which influence the mean value at the load 1300.

In the figure, “×” represents the low-injection-velocity group and “◦” represents the high-injection-velocity group. (b) It appears that shrinkage values for the low-injection-velocity group is higher than those for the high-injection-velocity group. Also, the variation of the shrinkage is a little larger for the low injection velocity than that for the high injection velocity.

Low High
In the figure, “×” represents the low-injection-velocity group and “◦” represents the high-injection-velocity group. (b) In this time, the shrinkage values are much higher for the high-injection-velocity group than those for the low-injection-velocity group. Also, the variation for the former group is much higher as well. (c) Since the shrinkage effects change in different direction between low mode temperature and high mold temperature, the apparent interactions between the mold temperature and injection velocity are significant.

It is quite obvious to find the interaction between the two variables. Since in this experimental data, those two variables can be controlled each at two levels, the interaction can be inves-

2.28 With n 1 = 5 different manufacturers, n 2 = 3 different preparations, and n 3 = 2 different strengths, the generalized multiplication rule yields n 1 n 2 n 3 = (5)(3)(2) = 30 different ways to prescribe a drug for asthma.
2.29 With n 1 = 3 race cars, n 2 = 5 brands of gasoline, n 3 = 7 test sites, and n 4 = 2 drivers, the generalized multiplication rule yields (3)(5)(7)(2) = 210 test runs.
2.30 With n 1 = 2 choices for the first question, n 2 = 2 choices for the second question, and so forth, the generalized multiplication rule yields n 1 n 2 · · · n 9 = 2^9 = 512 ways to answer the test.
2.31 Since the first digit is a 5, there are n 1 = 9 possibilities for the second digit and then n 2 = 8 possibilities for the third digit. Therefore, by the multiplication rule there are n 1 n 2 = (9)(8) = 72 registrations to be checked.
2.32 (a) By Theorem 2.3, there are 6! = 720 ways. (b) A certain 3 persons can follow each other in a line of 6 people in a specified order is 4 ways or in (4)(3!) = 24 ways with regard to order. The other 3 persons can then be placed in line in 3! = 6 ways. By Theorem 2.1, there are total (24)(6) = 144 ways to line up 6 people with a certain 3 following each other. (c) Similar as in (b), the number of ways that a specified 2 persons can follow each other in a line of 6 people is (5)(2!)(4!) = 240 ways.
