1.In a manufacturing company the job of controlling over the incoming raw materials and the outgoing finished products is usually known as

Quality control

Acceptance sampling

Process control

All of the above

2. Suppose a manufacturing process with a defective rate of 0.03. Which of the following represents the correct interpretations of this probability?

A defective product will never be manufactured.

Three defective product will certainly be manufactured three times out of every 100 products

Three defective products will be expected to be manufactured out of every 100 products

There defective products could be manufactured, or they couldn't be, the chances of either result are the same.

3. Past data has shown that the regression line relating the final exam score (y) and the midterm exam score (x) is presented as:y=50+0.5x

Regarding to the equation above, which of following statement interprets the slope?

A student who gets 50 points from the midterm would be assumed to score 75 points on the final exam.

A student who gets 4 points greater than another student on the midterm would be assumed to get 1 point greater than that student on the final exam.

A student who gets 100 points from the midterm would be assumed to score 100 points on the final exam.

None of the above

4. Which of the following statement is true about the standard deviation (x?) of x? in a sample size n ?

when n increases, x? increases

when n increases, x? decreases

when n increases, x? does not change

x? is an estimation of the standard error of x?

5. Which of the following is a meaningful reason in order to eliminate an outlier from a dataset?

The outlier is the result of natural variability in the measurement of interest.

The outlier clearly belongs to a different population.

The outlier is more than two standard deviations from the mean.

The outlier is the only negative number in the dataset.
