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:
Suppose you are allowed to choose any weights as long as they sum to 1. Could you always find a set of weights that would make the MSE smaller for a weighted moving average than for an unweighted moving average? Why or why not?

- One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. 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.

- The data sheet labeled rebound comes from a company which supplies a major automobile manufacturer with shock absorbers. A major quality characteristic of interest is the “force transferred through the shock absorber when the shank is forced out of the cylinder”. The exact technical definition of this test is not important for us. What we do need to understand is that the manufacturer only considers the shock to be an acceptable part if the force measurement is between 485 and 585.The shock manufacturer and the auto manufacturer are arguing over the following issue. Before the shock is finally shipped, it is filled with gas. After it is filled with gas it becomes very difficult to measure the force quantity we are interested in. The shock makers would like to make themeasurement before the shock is filled with gas. The auto maker is concerned that there may be a difference in the force before and after the shock is filled with gas and so would like to make the measurement after it is…arrow_forward4.
