TABLE 12-4 One Criterion Used to Evaluate Employees in the Assembly Section

question 16

Multiple Choice

TABLE 12-4
One criterion used to evaluate employees in the assembly section of a large factory is the number of defective pieces per 1,000 parts produced. The quality control department wants to find out whether there is a relationship between years of experience and defect rate. Since the job is repetitious, after the initial training period any improvement due to a learning effect might be offset by a loss of motivation. A defect rate is calculated for each worker in a yearly evaluation. The results for 100 workers are given in the table below.

-Referring to Table 12-4, which test would be used to properly analyze the data in this experiment to determine whether there is a relationship between defect rate and years of experience?

• A) χ² test for independence
• B) χ² test for differences among more than two proportions
• C) Wilcoxon rank sum test for independent populations
• D) Kruskal-Wallis rank test
