1. The miles per gallon (mpg) for medium-sized cars selected from two production lines during the
month of July are as follows:
Gas Mileages 12 – 15 15 – 18 18 – 21 21 – 24 24 – 27 27 – 30
Number of From line 1 2 4 9 12 8 5
cars selected From line 2 1 4 10 14 7 4
From which production line would you like to suggest the buyers to buy a car and why?
2. The time to failure (in minutes) of a machine component is related to the motor speed in revolution
per minute (rpm). A design experiment is run in the research and development laboratory, and the
following data are obtained.
Failure time 2145 2155 2220 2225 2260 2266 2334 2212 2340
Revolution per minute 750 850 1000 1100 750 850 1000 840 1000
Comment on the relationship status between failure time and motor speed.
3. Cesium atoms cooled by laser light could be used to build inexpensive clocks. In a study in IEEE
‘Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement (2001)’ the number of atoms cooled by lasers of
various powers were counted. The sample data are as follows:
Power (mW) 11 12 18 21 28 32
Number of Atoms (×10E9) 0 0.02 0.08 0.13 0.31 0.4
Graph the data and discover the relationship between variables using linear regression model. Also
interpret the regression parameters and estimate the number of cooled atoms if the power level is
considered 25 (mW).
4. The finished inside diameter of a piston ring is normally distributed with a mean of 10 cm and a
variance of 0.0009 cm2. (i) What proportion of rings will have inside diameters exceeding 10.075
cm? (ii) What is the probability that a piston ring will have an inside diameter between 9.97 and
10.03 cm? (iii) What is the probability that the inside diameter of a piston ring will not exceed 10
cm?
5. An electronic product contains 10 integrated circuits. The chance of being defective of any circuit is
1% only and the integrated circuits are independent. The product operated only if the there are no
defective integrated circuits. Decide with an estimated chance of percentage that the product will
operate.
6. Consider an Ohm’s Law experiment in your lab with two different multimeters from different
brands. The following result shows the voltage outputs (V) where each of them is examined at same
levels of inputs [in ampere (I)]. Comparing the output voltages, decide the better one regarding the
variability levels of the voltages.
I (amp.) 0.5 0.7 1 3 5 7

Output from Multimeter 1 (V) 2.5 3.5 9 15 23 27
Output from Multimeter 2 (V) 2.4 3.2 9 15 22 25
7. Two working designs are under consideration for adoption in a plant. A ‘time and motion study’
shows that 12 workers using design-A have a mean assembling time of 300 seconds with a standard
deviation of 12 seconds and that 15 workers using design-B have a mean assembling time of 335
seconds with a standard deviation of 15 seconds. Is the difference in the mean assembling times
between the two designs is significant at 1% level of significance?
8. The brightness of a television picture tube can be evaluated by measuring the amount of current (in
micro-amps) required to achieve a particular brightness level. A sample of ten tubes results an
average of 317.2 micro-amps with a standard deviation of 15.7 micro-amps. Suppose that the design
engineer claims that this tube will require at least 300 micro-amps of current to produce the desired
brightness level. Formulate and test an appropriate hypothesis to confirm the design engineer’s claim
taking a risk level of 1%.
.
9. A satellite missile manufacturer claims that his newly produced missile will strike the target within
the range of 10 feet and he defines it a “success”. His previous records revealed that the mean
targeting area, from the target, was within 1.5 feet with a standard deviation of 10 feet. Find the
probability that his newly product will fail the target considering the striking range follows
approximately a Gaussian distribution?
11. A certain transistor is manufactured at three factories at Barnsley, Bradford and Bristol. It is known
that the Barnsley factory produces twice as many transistors as the Bradford one, which produces the
same number as the Bristol one (during the same period). Experience also shows that 0.2% of the
transistors produced at Barnsley and Bradford are faulty and so are 0.4% of those produced at
Bristol.
A service engineer, while maintaining electronic equipment, finds a defective transistor. Determine
the percentage that the Bradford factory is to blame?
12. Two types of new cars produced in Germany are tested for petrol mileage. One group of first type of
cars consisting of 30 cars has averaged 21 km/liter. While the other group of second type of cars
consisting of 36 cars have averaged 19.5 km/liter with the standard deviations 1.85 km/liter and 2.10
km/liter respectively. Test and hence decide whether there is any significant difference between the
petrol consumptions of these two types of cars. (𝛼 = 0.01).
