Homework #1
due in two weeks
Two-sample-test
In this homework, you need to develop your own problem, collect your data, analyze
your data by Minitab software and answer the following questions:
1. What is your problem? Why is it related to two-sample-test?
2. What are the sample sizes large enough for each sample to detect the mean
3.
difference? That is, you need to find the  (You are going to assume same sample
sizes and two-sample-t-test to be used here)
According to 2., how would you collect your data? What is your sampling plan?
4.
5.
6.
After collecting your data, are these data in normal distribution?
Are these two samples have same variances?
What are your data analysis methods? What are the Minitab functions used?
7.
What is the p-value in your test? What is the confidence interval for the mean
difference?
What are the results?
Example:
1. Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0
ounces. The quality engineering department suspects that both machines fill to
2.
the same net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0 ounces. In the past, the
customers would complain their quality if the weight difference is larger than
0.25 ounces. And the variances for these two machines are assumed to be the
same σ1=σ2=0.12. This problem could become a two-sample-t-test or two
sample-z-test.
If one want to have a power of test closely to 99%, the sample size should be

An experiment is performed by taking a random sample from the output of each
machine.

These two samples has equal variance.
6.
Since these two samples have equal variance and are from normal distributions,
we will use two-sample-t-test to see if any difference between two machines.
