One of the most important aspects of quality improvement is the idea of reducing the variability in a product or service. For instance, a major bank has worked to reduce the variability in the service time at the drive-through.
 
  The managers believe that the standard deviation in service time should not exceed 30 seconds. To test whether this goal is being achieved, a random sample of n = 25 cars is selected each week and the service time for each car is measured. Last week, the mean time was 345 seconds with a standard deviation equal to 38 seconds. Given this information, if the significance level is 0.10, the critical value from the chi-square table is about 34.3. Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

An animal shelter wants to estimate the mean number of animals housed daily and they know the standard deviation. If they want to find a 98 percent confidence interval the critical value to use is:
 
  A) 1.645
  B) 1.98
  C) 2.33
  D) 2.575

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
