Statistic for CAE Question 1

A research monitoring the vibration subjected to the high-speed trains is conducted.

The study will be important for the safety of the high-speed trains. To calibrate the
workstation computers used in this research, samples of error ratio between data and
noise of the rails have been tabulated in Table Q3. The error ratio data are the signals
that contain information about the condition of the drive mechanisms and suspension
system of these high-speed trains. Input 1 and input 2 in Table Q3 are two similarly
build workstation (workstation 1 and workstation 2) computers used for this data
mining vibration analysis.

With the appropriate statistical analysis and significant level, distinguish any evidence
that both computer workstations are performing similarly so that they can be used side-
by-side for the vibration monitoring data mining purpose.

Statistic for CAE Question 2
A chemical factory is conducting an experiment that is studying the effect of
temperature with the reaction time for newly developed catalysts. It is first assumed
that the lowest time for catalytic reaction means this newly develop catalyst will result
in quicker yet efficient reaction time. Lowest reaction time means more efficiency in
reaction time period and thus will also reduce accident that is always as related with
the reaction’s high temperature. The known reaction temperature which is 300 °C is
subjected to FOUR different types of newly developed catalysts. Table Q3a shows the
tabulated data of time in millisecond for the catalysts. Table Q3b shows a partially
results of the statistical analysis of this experiment.

With the appropriate statistical analysis and 5% significant level, COMPLETE the
Table Q3b in your answer script and prove that the objective of this experiment above
is met.
