Module #8 Hand In Assignment

1. The manufacturer of hard drives must ensure that the assembly machine is properly adjusted.
The average head gap between the head and the hard drive must be .05 mm. Too small a
distance could result in a head crash, too large a gap and the head will not be able to read the
data.
a. Quality control samples 49 of the units and discovers the average distance to be .0508 mm and
the population standard deviation is .003 mm. Is there enough evidence at the 2% significance level to
prove the distance is different from .05mm?
b. Calculate the p value.

2. The operations manager of Slug Computers is considering a new method of assembling its
Mollusk Computer. The present method requires 42.3 minutes, on average to assemble the
speedy computer. The new method was introduced and a random sample of 24 computers
revealed a mean assembly time of 40.6 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.7 minutes, the
distribution is normal.
a. At the .10 level of significance, can we conclude the new method is faster, on average?
b. Estimate the p value.

3. The Sweatshop Computer Assembly plant claims the average age of its employees is 17. A
sample of 12 employees was taken and the results are summarized below.

16 15 18 17 16 15
17 19 16 15 16 15
a. Using the .01 significance level is there enough evidence to conclude the average age is different
from 17? (assume the distribution is normal) Find the P value.

4. The department of motor vehicles reports that 52% of drivers text while driving.. A sample of
300 Vancouver drivers revealed that 170 were text while driving.
a. At the .01 significance level can we conclude that more than 52% of the drivers in
Vancouver text while driving?

b. Find the p value.
