Question:

A manufacturer of men's jeans purchases zippers in lots of 500. The jeans manufacturer uses single-sample acceptance sampling with a sample size of 10 to determine whether to accept the lot. The manufacturer uses c = 2 as the acceptance number. Suppose 3% nonconforming zippers are acceptable to the manufacturer and 8% nonconforming zippers are not acceptable. Find

(i) Probability of accepting a lot of incoming quality 0.04.

(ii) Average outing quality (AOQ), if the rejected lots are screened and all defective zippers are replaced by non-defectives.

(iii) Average total inspection (ATI).

Question:

State whether the following statements are True or False. Give reason in support of your answer:

(i) The R-chart is suitable when subgroup size is greater than 

(ii) In single sampling plan, if we increase acceptance number then the OC curve will be steeper.

(iii) If the effect of summer and winter is not constant on the sale of AC then we use the additive model of the time series.

(iv) If a researcher wants to find the relationship between today's unemployment and that of 5 years ago without considering what happens in between then the partial autocorrelation is the better way in comparison to autocorrelation.

(v) A system has four components connected in parallel configuration with reliability 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8. To improve the reliability of the system most, we have to replace the component which reliability is 0.2.

Question:

A company conducted a study on its employees to see the relationship of several variables with an employee’s IQ. For this purpose, fifteen employees were selected, and an IQ test and five different personality tests were given to them. Each employee’s IQ was recorded along with scores on five tests. The data are shown in the following table

Employee Test 1 Test 1 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5 IQ
1 83 80 78 77 67 99
2 73 85 67 80 63 92
3 81 80 71 81 68 94
4 96 86 82 83 56 99
5 84 73 75 75 68 94
6 72 74 71 67 59 79
7 84 79 84 84 69 97

Question:

State whether the following statements are true or false and also give the reason in support of your answer.

(i) We define three indicator variables for an explanatory variable with three categories.

(ii) If the coefficient of determination is 0.833, the number of observations and explanatory variables are 12 and 3, respectively, then the Adjusted R² will be 0.84.

(iii) For a simple regression model fitted on 15 observations, if we have h₁ = 0.37, then it is an indication to trace the leverage point in the regression model.
