Contingency Table
A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…
Binomial Distribution
Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Chapter 12.3, Problem 15E

A plant manager, in deciding whether to purchase a machine of design A or design B, checks the times for completing a certain task on each machine. Eight technicians were used in the experiment, with each technician using both machine A and machine B in a randomized order. The times (in seconds) required to complete the task are given in the accompanying table.

Chapter 12.3, Problem 15E, A plant manager, in deciding whether to purchase a machine of design A or design B, checks the times

  1. a Test to see if there is a significant difference between mean completion times, at the 5% significance level.
  2. b Do you think pairing on technicians was worthwhile in this case? Explain.
  3. c What assumptions are necessary for the test in part (a)?
