Hypothesis Testing

-

For this assignment, I will be using the DOE experimental data that my practical team has collected for both for FULL factorial and FRACTIONAL factorial.

My team members consist of:

  1. Lionel
  2. Anthony 
  3. Firman
  4. Wei Xue


Full Factorial





Fractional Factorial




Question:

The catapult manufacturer needs to determine the consistency of the products they have manufactured. Therefore they want to determine whether CATAPULT A produces the same flying distance of projectile as that of CATAPULT B.





The human factor is assumed to be negligible. Therefore different user will not have any effect on the flying distance of projectile.

 


Scope of the Test:

Flying distance for catapult A and catapult B is collected using the factors below:

Arm length = cm

Start angle = degrees

Stop angle = LOW


Stating the statistical Hypothesis:


State the null hypothesis (H0):

Flying distance of projectile launched Catapult A is the same as from catapult B

Ho : µ1=µ2

 

State the alternative hypothesis (H1):

Flying distance of projectile launched Catapult A is the different from catapult B

H1 : µ1 ≠ µ2



Formulating the analysis plan:

Sample size is 16,Therefore t-test will be used.

Since the sign of H1 ≠ ,a two tailed test is used.

Significance level (α) used in this test is 5%



Using Run #3 from Full and Fractional Factorial:

Catapult A: Mean = 90.3 , Standard Deviation = 2.28 

Catapult B: Mean = 91.3, Standard Deviation = 3.30


v  =  8 + 8 - 2  = 14

t = -0.66

At significance lvl of 5%,

Area = 0.95 + 0.05/2 = 0.975


From the Distribution Table,

@ v =14 and t0.975 :

t = 2.145

Since the t-test value falls within the acceptance region, Ho is accepted.



Conclusion:

At a significance level of 5%, Ho has fallen into the acceptance range and hence been accepted, which shows that Catapults A and B produced the same flying distance of projectile.

By comparing conclusions with my other team members, I found that similarly, all of their t-test values had fell into their acceptance ranges, which lead to them accepting their null hypotheses(Ho). 



Reflection:

After this activity on Hypothesis testing, it has helped me understand and put into practice practice the ways of different testing methods and data collection for such methods. However, I find myself confused with the values of t and the plotted graphs for finding the acceptance ranges, which is something that I will have to look out for and improve on.

Arduino Programming For Arduino Programming, my class was tasked to accomplish 2 things. Firstly, each of us had to complete an individual competency test, and also write a code that would make the wings of a unicorn flap, and a bonus task of combining the flapping with something else.  To start off, my group used an "Sweep" example code provided by the Arduino Software, then tweaked it a little. We changed the Servo's initial position to from 0 to 10 degrees , changed the sweeping angles to go from 10 to 120 degrees and changed the degree increase rate to steps of 10 degrees . We also changed the delay when rotating anti-clockwise to 25ms, and  15ms when rotating clockwise. At first, we set it to have a slower flapping speed, but it was too slow by our lecturer's standards, so we increased it after. Finalized Code can be downloaded  here Prototype Design of our Unicorn We ran into 2 main problems during the Arduino Practical. Firstly,  when we attempted to do the...

Our team's Chemical Device Our chemical device is a door handle sanitizer.  It aims to reduce the problem of high infection rates of Covid-19 through indirect contact by an infected person. This can be through everyday objects that have been contaminated such as the door handle. Its function is to detect the hand on the door handle and spray hand sanitizer onto the door handle after a person lets go of the door handle. By doing so, it kills any bacteria or viruses on the door handle which in turns reduces the risk and reduces the rate of Covid-19 infections through indirect contact. Team Planning, allocation, and execution Wei Xue (Team leader) Firmanshah (Chief Financial Officer) Anthony (Chief Operating Officer) Lionel (Chief Security Officer)   Rufus (Chief Financial Officer) Project Title:    Automated Door sanitiser     Team members:    Anthony, Wei Xue, Firmanshah, Rufus, Lionel Created by:    Anthony, Wei Xu...

3D Printing

For our 3D Printing Session, our objective was to design an object that could not be made  Subtractively . After some failed brainstorming and searching online, I decided to follow this guide on Youtube, where he makes a cool looking pencil holder. This pencil holder cannot be made subtractively as cutting out the design along the curved surface of the pencil holder. Link to the video can be found here Step 1: From the Top view, sketch a circle with a diameter of 70mm. Step 2: Extrude the circle by 90mm to form a cylinder. Step 3:  Use the shell function to hollow the cylinder while leaving a 4mm gap. Step 4:  Create a Slot sketch and adjust its position where it is going to go on the pencil holder. Step 5:  Use the Emboss tool to emboss the slot design onto the cylinder. Step 6: Use the Circular Pattern Function to repeat the slot design all around the cylinder 10 times. Here's the Finished Design: In Cura, the product in its original size would take well over our ...
