Final Exam - Proba - 2022 - Sem01 - v1

This document contains instructions and questions for a final exam in Engineering Probability and Statistics. It is composed of 5 multiple choice questions testing different statistical concepts. Question 1 asks students to calculate a 90% confidence interval for a population mean based on sample data. Question 2 tests hypotheses about a production process mean. Question 3 examines if a new lubricant changes fuel consumption using a paired t-test. Question 4 performs an ANOVA test on fat content data from different meat brands. Question 5 fits a linear regression model and determines if a variable can be removed. Students are instructed to show their work and submit their exam paper on Blackboard.

QUESTIONS
Question 1: (20 points)

To estimate μ, the average nicotine content of a newly marketed cigarette, 25 of these cigarettes are randomly
chosen, and their nicotine contents are determined. It is known from past experience that the standard deviation
of the nicotine content of a cigarette is equal to 0.8 milligrams. If the average nicotine finding is 1.74
milligrams, what is a 90% confidence interval estimator of μ? (20p)

Question 2: (20 points)

When a certain production process is operating properly, it produces items that each has a measurable characteristic with

mean 122 and standard deviation 9. However, occasionally the process goes out of control, which results in a change in

the mean of the items produced. Given a random sample of 10 recently produced items had the following values:

123 120 115 125 132 127 130 118 125 128

a. Is the production process operating properly? Conduct the appropriate test of hypothesis and draw the conclusion at a

10% significance level. (15p)

b. Calculate 95% confidence interval of population parameter given in this question. (5p)

Question 3: (20 points)

An automobile manufacturer wants to test whether the new type of lubricant changes the fuel consumption of its car

models. The new type of lubricant is tested at a random sample of 12 car models. Data on the amount of fuel

consumption (gallons) the week before and the week after the change in lubricant are given below:

Car model 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Fuel Before 4.7 4.3 4.8 5.4 6.0 4.6 5.0 5.5 4.6 4.4 4.0 5.8

Consumption After 5.6 4.6 4.3 5.7 5.0 5.7 4.8 5.1 4.6 4.4 5.8 5.4

(gallons)

Is there any difference in fuel consumption level before and after the change in type of lubricant? If yes, should the

automobile manufacturer change the type of lubricant for fuel efficiency? Conduct the hypothesis and draw the conclusion

at α = 0.05 (20p)

Question 4: ANOVA (20 points)

Five servings each of three different brands of processed meat were tested for fat content. The following data (in fat

percentage per gram) resulted.

Brand 1 Brand 2 Brand 3

32 41 36

34 32 37

31 34 30

35 29 28

33 35 33

1. Does the fat content differ depending on the brand? (15p)


2. Find confidence intervals for quantities μ1 – μ2 that, with 95 percent confidence, are valid. (5p)

Question 5: Regression (20 points)

Given a regression model in form of: Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2

X1 X2 Y

14 11 84

16 10 81

22 9 73

24 8 74

20 4 67

29 8 87

26 16 77

15 25 76

29 6 69

24 12 82

a. Find linear regression equation to the following data set. (10p)


b. Among two variables X1, X2, is there any variable that can be eliminated from the regression equation
with α=5%. Why? (10p) Given that standard error of X1 = 5.05 and X2 = 2.28
