Essay Assignment
See the general assignment instructions for information about the quality and quantity expectations and evaluation criteria.
Data collection and analysis.
a. Decide on something you are going to measure. In your initial post write up, include the following. Keep an industrial focus if possible but you can measure anything. The measurement instrument can be anything, e.g., your eyes, a bath scale, a micrometer, etc.
i. Define the population measured.
ii. Define the unit of observation (e.g., case, subject).
iii. Define the sample measured and state the sample size (must be at least n=10).
iv. Describe the variable measured. Include scale level, i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, or rank.
v. Describe the measurement tool and measurement method.
vi. Define the variable values measured and/or that could have been measured, e.g., there might have been green apples but none in your sample were.
vii. Calculate appropriate measures of central tendency and dispersion.
viii. Create an appropriate chart to display the data. Does the data look like it fits a particular distribution; should it, i.e., does the data fit the definition of a particular distribution?
b. Similar to example 5.8 in the Primer, calculate the mean and 3 sigma limits for 10 coin tosses. Toss an actual coin 10 times and compare the theoretical and actual results*. Are the theoretical and actual results different? If so, why? How do you interpret the control limits, e.g., what do they tell us?
c. Create your own probability example of compound events* (similar to examples 5.20 - 5.23 in the Primer).
d. Discuss the general principles of how to make something more reliable.
e. Do your own failure experiment.* Calculate Lambda and Theta.
