Activity 3.5 Applied Statistics

Introduction
Today’s consumers are constantly trying to judge the quality of products. But what is quality? How and by whom is quality determined? Some would say the designer creates specifications, which in turn dictate the quality of a product. That quality is also based on the acceptable value of a part within a whole product.
Statistics are commonly used in manufacturing processes to control and maintain quality. This activity will allow you to apply statistics in order to analyze and determine the quality of a set of wooded cubes.

In this activity you will collect data and then perform statistical analyses to determine measures of central tendency and variation of the data. You will also represent the data using a histogram.

Pencil
Dial caliper

Procedure
1. Part of the manufacturing quality control testing for a toy is to measure the depth of a connector piece that must fit into another part. The designed depth is 4.1 cm. Every tenth part produced on the production line is measured. The following data was collected during a two minute production period.
4.1, 4.1, 4.0, 4.1, 3.9, 4.4, 3.9, 4.3, 4.0, 4.2, 4.0, 3.8
a. Calculate each of the following measures of central tendency. Show your work.
Mean: ___4.066667__________
Median: ____4.05________
Mode: _____4, 4.1 Bimodal________

b. Calculate each of the following measures of variation for the data set. Show your work. A table has been provided to help you calculate the standard deviations. In the table round values in the last two columns to four decimal places. Report the standard deviation statistics to four decimal places.
Range: _____0.6________
Standard Deviation of this data: ___.1648__________
Estimated Standard Deviation for all pieces produced: ______.1721_______

With these ranges, the mean is 9.142, with a standard deviation of 2.583 and a variance of 6.670. Appendix B: Male vs. Female data sets, show the mean, standard deviation and variance for both of these sets respectively. Female data sets have a mean of 7.111, standard deviation of 1.131, and a variance of 1.281 whereas the males have a mean of 11.294, a standard deviation of 1.803, and a variance of 3.251. The T-test was applied to these two data sets to obtain a result of (2-tailed): 1.4964E-09. Since both of the data sets (females and males) each have less than 30 samples, the t-Test was chosen. Assuming equal…

    Summary: This activity introduces you to the basic statistics that researchers use to summarize their sets of data. You will learn how to produce a distribution of scores and how to graph the distribution. After descriptions of the measures of central tendency (mode, median, and mean) and variability (range and standard deviation), you will be able to manipulate the scores in a distribution to see how each score affects the descriptive statistics for that distribution.…

    Through this paper, Team B will use the philosophy of descriptive statistics to describe the main feature of the collection of data quantitatively (Main PS 1995). Descriptive statistics will provide simple summaries about the samples and the measures. In essence, we will show a summary of the data that the team has collected. Some of the ways that we will show the data collected will be in the form of first central tendency which is the distribution locates the center of a distribution of values. The three types of the central tendency are the mean, the median and the mode. Secondly, we will look at the dispersion which is the spread of values around the central tendency (Dodge 2003). The standard deviation is a more accurate way of measuring the dispersion. Thirdly, the use of graphics and tables to illustrate the data collected in a visual background. Fourthly there is the frequency distribution. In the frequency distribution is a summary of the ranges of values. Frequency distribution can be shown by the team in graphic or tables that will be presented. Finally the use of the histogram will be depicted in the team analysis of the data that was collected.…
