A quality control inspector is interested in maintaining a flatness specification for the surface of the metal disks.

A quality control inspector is interested in maintaining a flatness specification for the surface of the metal disks. Thirty flatness measurements. in (0.001 inch) were collected. Which probability density model - normal, lognormal, or Weibull - appears to provide the most suitable fit to the data?

2.49	2.14	1.63
4.46	3.69	4.58
1.28	1.28	1.59
0.82	2.23	7.55
2.20	4.78	5.24
1.54	3.81	2.13
1.45	2.21	6.65
6.40	2.06	4.06
2.66	1.66	2.38
6.04	2.85	3.70

Identify the associated parameter estimates. Use these parameter estimates to determine the mean and variance.

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. The inspector selects simple random samples of 50 finished products and computes the sample mean product weights x. If test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the x values are over 4.1 pounds and 5% are under 3.9 pounds, what is the standard deviation (in lb) for the population of products produced with this process? (Round your answer for the standard deviation to two...
