Part I: Can Recycled Materials Be Used in Electrical Devices? Electronic devices contain electric circuits etched into wafers made of silicon. These silicon wafers are sealed with an ultrathin layer or silicon dioxide., in a process known as oxidation. This can be done with either new or recycled or recycled wafers. In a study described in the book Statistical Case Studies for Industrial Process Improvement by V. Czitron and P. Spagon, both new and recycled wafers were oxidized, and the thicknesses of the layers were measured to determine whether they tended to differ between the two types of wafers. Recycled wafers are cheaper than new wafers, so the hope was that they would perform at least as well as the new wafers. Following are 36 thickness measurements (in tenths of a nanometre) for both and recycled wafers. New 90.0 92.2 94.9 92.7 91.6 88.2 92.0 98.2 96.0 91.1 89.8 91.5 91.5 90.0 93.1 88.9 92.5 92.4 96.7 93.7 93.9 87.9 90.4 92.0 90.5 95.2 94.3 92.0 94.6 93.7 94.0 89.3 90.1 91.3 92.7 94.5 Recycled 91.8 94.5 93.9 77.3 92.0 89.9 87.9 92.8 93.3 92.6 90.3 92.8 91.6 92.7 91.7 89.3 95.5 93.6 92.4 91.7 91.6 91.1 88.0 92.4 88.7 92.9 92.6 91.7 97.4 95.1 96.7 77.5 91.4 90.5 95.2 93.1 Page | 4 Asia Pacific International College Pty Ltd. Trading as Asia Pacific International College 55 Regent Street, Chippendale, Sydney 2008: 02-9318 8111 PRV12007; CRICOS 03048D Answer the following questions: 1. Construct comparative boxplots for the thickness of new wafers and recycled wafers. 2. Identify any outliers in the redrawn boxplots. Should any of these be deleted? Explain. 3. Are the distributions of thickness skewed, or approximately symmetric? 4. Delete outliers as approximate and compute the mean, median and standard thickness for new and recycled wafers. 5. Suppose that it is desired to use the type of wafer whose distribution has less spread. a. Write a brief paragraph that explains which types of wafer to use and why. b. Which measure is more useful for spread in this case, the standard deviation or the interquartile rangers? Part II: Can Recycled Materials Be Used in Electrical Devices? The following table is a life table which is used by Life Insurance companies to determine how much to charge for life insurance policies. United States Life Table, Total Population Age Interval Proportion Surviving 0 - 10 0.99123 10 - 20 0.99613 20 - 30 0.99050 30 - 40 0.98703 40 - 50 0.97150 50 - 60 0.94010 60 - 70 0.86958 70 - 80 0.70938 80 - 90 0.42164 90 - 100 0.12248 The column labelled “Proportion Surviving” gives the proportion of people alive at the beginning of an age interval who will still be alive at the end of the age interval. For example, among those currently age 20, the proportion who will still be alive at age 30 is 0.99050 or 99.050%. Answer the following questions: 1. From the table, find the conditional probability P(Alive at age 20 | Alive at age 10) 2. Find the probability that a person aged 20 is still alive at age 100. 3. Find the probability that a person aged 50 is still alive age 70. 4. Which is more probable, that a person aged 20 is still alive at age 50, or that a person aged 50 is still alive at age 60? 5. A life insurance company sells term insurance policies. These policies pay $100,000 if the policyholder dies before age 70 but pay nothing if a person is still alive at age 70. If a person buys a policy at age 40, what is the probability that the insurance company does not have to pay? Page | 5 Asia Pacific International College Pty Ltd.
