1. (209%) Consider the following frequency table of observation on a random variable x. Values ofil2|3i4 Observed Frequency, 8 | 16 | 14 | 9 | 3 (a) Perform a goodness-of-fit test to determine whether X fits the discrete uniform distribution? (a = 0.05) (10%) (b) Performa goodness-of-fit test to determine whether X fits the Bin(4, 0.5) distribution? (a = 0.05) (10%) 2 (25%) Ina shop study, a set of data was collected to determine whether or not the proportion of defectives produced was the same for workers on the day, evening, or night shifts. The data were collected and shown in the following table. Shift Day Evening _| Night Defectives | 50 0 70 Non-defectives | 950 840 880 (a) Use a 0.05 level of significance to determine if the proportion of defectives produced is the same for all three shifts. (10%) (b) Let X=0 and X=1 denote the “defective” and “non-defective” events, and ¥=1,2,3 denote the shift of “Day”, “Evening” and “Night”, respectively. Use a 0.05 level of significance to determine whether the variables X and ¥ are independent. (10%) (c) What is the relationship between problems (a) and (b)? (5%) & (20%) Three brands of electronic products are under investigation. It is suspected that the lives (in weeks) of the three brands are different. The following results are obtained from each brand. Lifetime Brand| Loti | Lot2 | Lot3 | Lot4 | LotS | Lot6 1 104 100 96 100 96 104 2 80 84 19 88 86 81 3 112 108 100 102 109 1 (a) Under the assumption of lot quality homogeneity, are the lifetimes of these brands of electronic products different? Use the Kruskal-Wallis test to analyze the data and draw appropriate conclusions at a= 0.05. (10%) (b) Considering the lot as the block, are the lifetimes of these brands of electronic products different? Use the Friedman F-test to analyze the data and draw appropriate conclusions ato = 0.05. (10%) 4, (15%) Is the number of years of competitive running experience related to a runner’s distance running performance? The data on nine runners, obtained from the study by Scott Powers and colleagues, are shown in the table, 1 2 3 4 +5 6 7 ‘Years of Competitive Running 9 13 5 7 12 6 4 10-Kilometer Finish Time (min) 33.15 33.33 33.50 33.55 33.73 33.86 33.90 34.15 34.90 (a) Calculate the rank correlation coefficient between years of competitive running X and a runner’s finish Page 1 of 2time ¥ in the 10-kilometer race. (5%) (b) Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a rank correlation between Y and X? Test using = 0.06.
