Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Normal Probability Plot Construction for Coating Thickness**
In this exercise, we aim to construct a normal probability plot for a sample of observations regarding the coating thickness of low-viscosity paint. The sample observations are as follows:
- 0.81, 0.86, 0.88, 1.03, 1.08, 1.13, 1.29, 1.29
- 1.47, 1.50, 1.59, 1.60, 1.64, 1.73, 1.74, 1.81
**Step-by-Step Instruction:**
1. **Using the SALT Tool:**
- Click the "USE SALT" button to assist in constructing the normal probability plot.
2. **Determine Z Percentiles:**
- You need to determine the z percentile associated with each sample observation. Enter your answers rounded to two decimal places.
- The sample observation of 0.81 has been associated with a z percentile of 0.05, but this is marked as incorrect, indicating a check is needed.
3. **Data Observations and Z Percentiles:**
The observations are grouped as shown below:
- First group: 0.81, 0.86, 0.88, 1.03, 1.08, 1.13, 1.29, 1.29
- Second group: 1.47, 1.50, 1.59, 1.60, 1.64, 1.73, 1.74, 1.81
4. **Select the Appropriate Plot:**
- Determine which plot best represents the normal probability plot for this sample of observations using the given data.
This exercise enhances understanding of the relationship between the sample data and the normal distribution by utilizing the normal probability plot. Adjust your calculations for z percentiles and interpret the plots accordingly for an accurate analysis.
