10-38. A computer scientist is investigating the usefulness of two different design languages in improving programming tasks. Twelve expert programmers, familiar with both lan- guages, are asked to code @ standard function in both lan- juages, and the time (in minutes) is recorded. The data follow: Time. Design = Design.

Is there any indication that one design la guage is preferable? (b) Isthe assumption thatthe difference in coding time is nor- ‘mally distributed reasonable? Show evidence to support {Your answer. 10-20, The deflection temperature under load for 1wo dif {erent types of plastic pipe is being investigated. Two random sumples of 15 pipe specimens are tested, and the deflection temperatures observed are as follows (in °F): ‘Type I: 206, 188, 205, 187, 194, 193, 207, 185, 189, 213, 192,210, 194, 178, 205. ‘Type2: 177, 197, 206, 201, 180, 176, 185, 200, 197, 192, 198, 188, 189, 203, 192. (b) Do the dsta support the claim thatthe deflection tempera- ture under load for type 2 pipe excoeds that of typo 1? In reaching your conclusions, use « = 0.05. (©) Calculate a P-value for the test in part (6). 10965!) A random sample of $00 adult residents of Maricopa ‘County found that 385 were in favor of increasing the high- way speed limit to 75 mph, while another sample of 400 adult residents of Pima County found that 267 were in favor of the increased speed limit. Do these data indicate that there is a dif- ference in the support for increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two counties? Use « = 0.05. What is the Pevalue for this test? 324. Four different designs for a digital computer eicuit ‘are being studied to compare the amount of noise present, The following data have been obtained: Greuit Noise Observed 1 1” 2 9 30 8 2 so 6l 3S. 3 7 6 8 35 90 4 3 46 OT (@) Is the same amount of noise present for all four esians? Use a = 0.05. 329 A semiconductor manufacturer has developed three different methods for reducing particle counts on wafers. All three methods are tested on five diferent wafers and the ater ‘ueatment particle count obtained. The data are shown below: ‘Method ‘Count uO a a 1 2 2 0 WM 35 3 3S 7 nm 7 68 (2) Do all methods have the same effect on mean particle ‘count?
