Question
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 120 engines and the mean pressure was 5 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 1. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 5.1 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve performs below the specifications?
State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

- The Precision Machining Company makes hand-held tools on an assembly line that produces one product every minute. On one of the products, the critical quality dimension is the diameter (measured in thousandths of an inch) of a hole bored in one of the assemblies. Management wants to detect any shift in the process average diameter from 0.010 in. Management considers the variance in the process to be in control. Historically, the average range has been 0.002 in., regardless of the process average. Design an x-chart to control this process, with a center line at 0.010 in. and the control limits set at three sigmas from the center line. Management provided the results of 80 minutes of output from the production line, as shown in the table below. During these 80 minutes, the process average changed once.

Answer given F=.82 and .77 both these are incorrect. A bakery is considering buying one of two gas ovens. The bakery requires that the temperature remain constant during a baking operation. A study was conducted to measure the variance in temperature of the ovens during the baking process. The variance in temperature before the thermostat restarted the flame for the Monarch oven was 3.3 for 22 measurements. The variance for the Kraft oven was 4 for 25 measurements. Does this information provide sufficient reason to conclude that there is a difference in the variances for the two ovens?

A very common type of avalanche is called the slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia.
