6-10. An article in the Journal of Structural Engineering (Vol.

115, 1989) describes an

experiment to test the yield strength of circular tubes with caps welded to the ends. The
first yields (in kN) are 96, 96, 102, 102, 102, 104, 104, 108, 126, 126, 128, 128, 140,
156, 160, 160, 164, and 170. Calculate the sample mean and sample standard
deviation. Construct a dot diagram of the data

6-16. Exercise 6-11 describes data from an article in Human Factors on visual
accommodation from an experiment involving a high-resolution CRT screen. Data from
a second experiment using a low-resolution screen were also reported in the article.
They are 8.85, 35.80, 26.53, 64.63, 9.00, 15.38, 8.14, and 8.24. Prepare a dot diagram
for this second sample and compare it to the one for the first sample. What can you
conclude about CRT resolution in this situation?

Hay más variación en la de baja resolución

6-19. The following data are the joint temperatures of the O-rings (°F) for each test firing
or actual launch of the space shuttle rocket motor (from Presidential Commission on the
Space Shuttle Challenger Accident, Vol. 1, pp. 129–131): 84, 49, 61, 40, 83, 67, 45, 66,
70, 69, 80, 58, 68, 60, 67, 72, 73, 70, 57, 63, 70, 78, 52, 67, 53, 67, 75, 61, 70, 81, 76,
79, 75, 76, 58, 31.
(a) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation and construct a dot
diagram of the temperature data.
(b) Set aside the smallest observation (31°F) and recompute the quantities in part (a).
Comment on your findings. How “different” are the other temperatures from this last
value?

Creo que no hay tanta diferencia como hubiera pensado pero sí es apreciable.
6-30. An article in Technometrics (1977, Vol. 19, p. 425) presented the following data on
the motor fuel octane ratings of several blends of gasoline:

Construct a stem-and-leaf display for these data. Calculate the median and quartiles of
these data.

6-46. Construct a frequency distribution and histogram for the motor fuel octane data
from Exercise 6-30. Use eight bins.
6-76. Reconsider the water quality data in Exercise 6-40. Construct a box plot of the
concentrations and write an interpretation of the plot. How does the box plot compare in
interpretive value to the original stem-and-leaf diagram?
6-82. The following data are the viscosity measurements for a chemical product
observed hourly (read down, then left to right). Construct and interpret either a digidot
plot or a separate stem-and-leaf and time series plot of these data. Specifications on
product viscosity are at 48 2 ± . What conclusions can you make about process
performance? 47.9 48.6 48.0 48.1 43.0 43.2 47.9 48.8 47.5 48.0 42.9 43.6 48.6 48.1

Observando la gráfica de Time Series, nos podemos dar cuenta cómo es que los
puntos se dividen los primero 24 puntos están arriba de 47. Ya después los otros
puntos restantes desciende hasta debajo de 44 de viscosidad.

6-96. Construct a normal probability plot of the solar intensity data in Exercise 6-12.
Does it seem reasonable to assume that solar intensity is normally distributed?

No, no es razonable asumir que la intensidad solar está de una buena forma
distribuida, ya que no están totalmente alineados los puntos. Aparte de que algunos
puntos salen de los límites dados y otros están encima de otros puntos y no es lo
recomendable.
