Question 1

The variance rather than the standard deviation, is the appropriate measure of spread.

Accepted Answer

The standard deviation is often preferred as it is in the same units as the data, making it easier to interpret compared to variance, which is in squared units.

Question 4

In Bernoulli Trials, if P(S) = p, then P(F) = 1 - p.

Accepted Answer

In Bernoulli Trials, there are only two possible outcomes: success (S) and failure (F). The probability of failure is the complement of the probability of success, hence P(F) = 1 - P(S) = 1 - p.

Question 13

If p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure, then the probability of X = 5 for 8 Bernoulli trials is:

Accepted Answer

The probability of getting exactly X successes in n Bernoulli trials is given by the binomial probability formula: $ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k q^{n-k} $. For X = 5 successes in 8 trials, it is $ \binom{8}{5} p^5 q^3 = 56 p^5 q^3 $.

Question 14

Use the Bernoulli Table (Appendix B, Table 2) to find P[X$\ge$6] for n = 8 and p = 0.7.

Accepted Answer

The probability P[X ≥ 6] can be found by summing the probabilities P[X = 6], P[X = 7], and P[X = 8] from the Bernoulli Table for n = 8 and p = 0.7. The sum of these probabilities is 0.255.

Question 20

Given that the lower control limit is 0.12 and p₀ = .5, find the value of n.

Accepted Answer

The lower control limit (LCL) for a p-chart is calculated using the formula LCL = p0 - z * sqrt((p0 * (1 - p0)) / n). Given LCL = 0.12, p0 = 0.5, and assuming z = 3 for a typical control chart, solving for n gives n = 16.
