In a 1996 article published in Technometrics, 38, pp. 11–22, the authors discuss the reliability of nuclear power plant emergency generators. To control the risk of damage to the nuclear core during accidents at nuclear plants, the reliability of emergency diesel generators (EDG) to start on demand must be maintained at a very high level. At each nuclear power plant there are a number of such generators. An overall measure of reliability is obtained by counting the number of times the EDGs successfully work when needed. The table here provides the number of successful demands for implementation of an EDG between each subsequent failure in an EDG for all the EDGs at each of seven nuclear power plants. A regulatory agency wants to determine if there is a difference in the reliability of the seven nuclear power plants. (Use Data _8). Do the conditions necessary for conducting the ANOVA test appear to be satisfied by these data?

To test the system, data were collected over a broad range of materials, drill sizes, drill speeds, and feed rates – called machining conditions. Although a total of 168 different machining conditions were possible, only eight were employed in this study.

No. 3: Recently airlines have cut services, such as meals and snacks during flights, and started charging extra for some services, such as accommodating overweight luggage, last-minute flight changes, and pets traveling in the cabin. However, they are still concerned about service. Recently, a group of four carriers hired Brunner Marketing Research Inc. to survey passengers regarding their level of satisfaction with a recent flight. The survey included questions on ticketing, boarding, in-flight service, baggage handling, pilot communication, and so forth. Twenty-five questions offered a range of possible answers: excellent, good, fair, or poor. A response of excellent was given a score of 4, good a 3, fair a 2, and poor a 1. These responses were then totaled, so the total score was an indication of the satisfaction with the flight. The greater the score, the higher the level of satisfaction with the service. The highest possible score was 100. Brunner randomly selected and surveyed…arrow_forward

The manager thinks that the demand of Coke may be related to its price, the national advertisement expenditure level of Coke, and the price of the 16 oz 24-can case Pepsi Cola. Based on a sample of 20 weeks of data of quantity sold (in cases) for the Coke Cola, price of Coke Cola (in dollars), Coke's advertisement expenditure (in million dollars), and the price of Pepsi Cola (in dollars), a multiple linear regression analysis was performed in Excel.

- The relationship between United States unemployment and inflation rates during the Covid-19 pandemic. Background The covid-19 pandemic has led to higher unemployment rates in the United States than normal because many people were laid off jobs in response to the pandemic (Al-Fadly, 2020). It is important to analyze how such as sharp increase in unemployment affected inflation in relation to how unemployment have traditionally affected inflation. The overall relationship between unemployment and inflation has traditionally been an inverse one. It is argued that when unemployment rates are higher, the number of individuals who are looking for jobs usually becomes higher than the number of job positions that are available (Putnam & Azzarello, 2015). In such a situation, employers tend to pay lower wages because there is abundance of workers which naturally leads to a lower wage inflation. This study will examine the relationship between unemployment rates and inflation rate during…arrow_forwardAn internet service provider (ISP) has experienced rapid growth in the past five years.
