Chapter 4, Problem 35E
An article in Solid State Technology (May 1987) describes an experiment to determine the effect of C2F6 flow rate on etch uniformity on a silicon wafer used in integrated-circuit manufacturing. Three flow rates are tested, and the resulting uniformity (in percent) is observed for six test units at each flow rate. The data are shown in Table 4E.4.
- (a) Does C2F6 flow rate affect etch uniformity? Answer this question by using an analysis of variance with α = 0.05.
- (b) Construct a box plot of the etch uniformity data. Use this plot, together with the analysis of variance results, to determine which gas flow rate would be best in terms of etch uniformity (a small percentage is best).
- (c) Plot the residuals versus predicted C2F6 flow. Interpret this plot.
- (d) Does the normality assumption seem reasonable in this problem?

The output of a solar panel (photovoltaic) system depends on its size. A manufacturer states that the average daily production of its 1.5 kW system is 6.6 kilowatt hours (kWh) for Perth conditions. A consumer group monitored this 1.5 kW system in 20 different Perth homes and measured the average daily production by the systems in these homes over a one month period during October. The data is provided here.
kWh 6.2, 5.8, 5.9, 6.1, 6.4, 6.3, 6.9, 5.5, 7.4, 6.7, 6.3, 6.2, 7.1, 6.8, 5.9, 5.4, 7.2, 6.7, 5.8, 6.9
1. Analyse the consumer group’s data to test if the manufacturer’s claim of an average of 6.6 kWh per day is reasonable. State appropriate hypotheses, assumptions and decision rule at α = 0.10. What conclusions would you report to the consumer group? (Hint: You will need to find Descriptive Statistics first.)

Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and the outdoor temperature affect natural gas consumption. In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are:

The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.

PM is measured as “inhalable” particles 10 micrometers in diameter or “fine inhalable” particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Suppose that studies show, for a particular region, that cities exceed PM2.5 standards 20% of the time and exceed ozone standards 10% of the time. Assume that PM2.5 and ozone measurements are statistically independent. A) Determine the probability that a city, selected at random, exceeds one of the standards.

This new procedure is important because, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants, volatile solvents, and chlorinated compounds. The department claims that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.95% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.70% accuracy, and chlorinated compounds with 89.70% accuracy. If an algal bloom is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. Denote as follows: S= signal, 0 = organic pollutants, V = volatile solvents, C = chlorinated compounds. If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? (Show complete solution in your answer sheet) O a. P(C|S) = 0.1184 O b. P(C|S) = 0.1386 O c.
