Case Overview:

Quality Associates, Inc., a consulting firm, advises its clients about sampling and statistical procedures that can be used to control their manufacturing processes. IN one particular application, a client game quality associates a sample of 800 observations taken during a time in which that client's process was operating satisfactorily. The sample standard deviation for there data was .21 ; hence, with so much data, the population standard deviation was assumed to be .21. Quality associates then suggested that random samples of size 30 be taken periodically to monitor the process on an ongoing basis. BY analyzing the new samples, the client could quickly learn whether the process was operating satisfactorily. When the process was not operating satisfactorily, corrective action could be take to eliminate the problem. the design specification indicated the mean for the process should be 12. The hypothesis test suggested Quality Associates follows.

: μ=12
: μ12
Corrective action will be take any time H0 is rejected.
The following samples were collected at hourly intervals during the first day of operation of the new statistical process control procedure. These data are available in the data set Quality . Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4 | 11.55 | 11.62 | 11.91 | 12.02 | 11.62 | 11.69 | 11.36 | 12.02 | 11.52 | 11.59 | 11.75 | 12.05 | 11.75 | 11.82 | 11.95 | 12.18 | 11.90 | 11.97 | 12.14 | 12.11 | 11.64 | 11.71 | 11.72 | 12.07 | 11.80 | 11.87 | 11.61 | 12.05 | 12.03 | 12.10 | 11.85 | 11.64 | 11.94 | 12.01 | 12.16 | 12.39 | 11.92 | 11.99 | 11.91 | 11.65 | 12.13 | 12.20 | 12.12 | 12.11 | 12.09 | 12.16 | 11.61 | 11.90 | 11.93 | 12.00 | 12.21 | 12.22 | 12.21 | 12.28 | 11.56 | 11.88 | 12.32 | 12.39 | 11.95 | 12.03 | 11.93 | 12.00 | 12.01 | 12.35 | 11.85 | 11.92 | 12.06 | 12.09 | 11.76

    Manifest Destiny was mainly a selfish and egotistical ideal that inspired Americans to flock westward during the 1840s. The term is defined as the belief that westward expansion was the God-given right of Americans, even their duty, to spread their population to the West all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It was extremely damaging to several parties who found themselves in the path of the hordes of migrants, yet Americans came to be pompous and arrogant, considering their democratic lifestyles better than any other in the world. Blinding themselves to the injustices of their expansion, America spread west.…

    In this modeling assignment, I will develop a model function for the relationship between time of day and the height of the tide. I will first show the data in a table form copied from the assignment sheet. Then I will use the data to construct a scatter graph of time against height, then I will develop a function that models the behavior noted in the graph analytically, and describe any variables, parameters or constraints for the model. In the end I will modify the same model using the regression feature of graphing software to develop a best-fit function for the data. This modeling task will allow me to find out what is the best time that a good sailor should launch their boat.

    Oman, officially called the Sultanate of Oman is an Arab state in southwest Asia on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to the northwest, Saudi Arabia to the west and Yemen to the southwest. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the southeast and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. Oman is an absolute monarchy in which the Sultan of Oman, named Sultan Saeed bin Qaboos, exercises ultimate authority but its parliament has some legislative and oversight powers. In November 2010, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) listed Oman, from among 135 countries worldwide, as the nation most-improved during the preceding 40 years. According to international indices, it is one of the most developed and stable countries in the Arab. Oman is a middle-income economy that is heavily dependent on dwindling oil resources. Because of declining reserves and a rapidly growing labor force, Muscat, the capital of Oman has actively pursued a development plan that focuses on diversification, industrialization, and privatization, with the objective of reducing the oil sector's contribution to GDP to 9% by 2020 and creating more jobs to employ the rising numbers of Omanis entering the workforce. Tourism and gas-based industries are key components of the government's diversification strategy. By using enhanced oil recovery techniques, Oman succeeded in increasing oil production, giving the country more time to diversify, and the increase in global oil prices through 2011 provided the government greater financial resources to invest in non-oil sectors.…
