CP5070-2022-2B05-Group 3-Asraf-Blog 6 (Hypothesis Testing)
For this assignment, you will use the DOE experimental data
using the CATAPULT that you have conducted during the practical. You will use
FULL FACTORIAL DATA. You are free to express yourself in your blog, but the
table provided on page 2 to 7 must be followed.
DOE PRACTICAL TEAM MEMBERS (fill
this according to your DOE practical):
1. Person A (Iron Man)
2. Person B (Thor)
3. Person C (Captain America)
4. Person D (Black Widow)
5. Person E (Hulk)
I chose to be Person B which is Thor as I honestly see Chris Hemsworth as an idol due to his character and his physique in the movies.
Data collected for FULL factorial design using CATAPULT A (fill this according to your DOE practical result):
Iron Man will use Run #1 and Run#3. To determine the effect
of projectile weight.
Thor
will use will use Run #2 and Run#4. To determine the effect of projectile
weight.
Captain America will use Run #2 and Run#6. To determine the
effect of stop angle.
Black Widow will use Run #4 and Run#8. To determine the
effect of stop angle.
Hulk will
use Run #6 and Run#8. To determine the effect of projectile weight

The QUESTION |
To determine the effect of projectile weight on the flying distance
of the projectile |
|
Scope of the
test |
The human factor is assumed to be negligible. Therefore different user will not have any effect on the flying distance of projectile. Flying distance for
catapult is collected using the factors below: Arm length = 33.6cm Projectile weight = 0.8604
grams (Average of 2 brown ball) and 2.0514 grams Stop angle = 120 degree |
|
Step 1: State the
statistical Hypotheses: |
State the null hypothesis
(H0): When arm length is 33.6cm
and stop angle is at 120 degree. The projectile distance travelled with the
projectile weight of 0.8604 grams and 2.0514 grams. There will be no effect. H0,2 = H0,4 State the alternative
hypothesis (H1): When arm length is 33.6cm
and stop angle is at 120 degree. The projectile distance travelled with the
projectile weight of 0.8604 grams and 2.0514 grams. There will be effect. We
can conclude that the larger the projectile weight, the distance travel is
shorter. H0,2 > H0,4 |
|
Step 2: Formulate an analysis
plan. |
Sample size is 16 Therefore t-test will be used. Since the sign of H1 is <, a left/two/right tailed test is used. Significance level (α) used in this test is 0.05 |
|
Step 3: Calculate the
test statistic |
State the mean and standard deviation of Run #2: Mean: 233.3 Standard Deviation: 3.01 State the mean and standard deviation of Run #4: Mean: 142.3 Standard Deviation: 1.58 Compute the value of the test statistic (t): |
|
Step 4: Make a
decision based on result |
Type of test (check one only) Right-tailed test: [YES] Critical value tα = 0.692 Use the t-distribution
table to determine the critical value of tα or tα/2 Compare the values of test statistics, t,
and critical value(s), tα or ± tα/2 t = 70.8 Therefore, Ho is false. |
|
Conclusion
that answers the initial question |
To conclude, there will be significant difference of the distance. The lighter the projectile weight, the further the distance will be. Since Ho is false, H1 is true |
|
Compare your
conclusion with the conclusion from the other team members. |
Insyirah: Since the test statistic, t = 8.92 lies in the rejection region, the null hypothesis is rejected. Hence, At an arm length of 28.1 cm and stop angle of 120 degrees, the flying distance of the projectile weight using a projectile weight of 0.86g and 2.05g are different. |
|
What
inferences can you make from these comparisons? |
Based on all the 4 conclusions, we can safely say that using a higher stop angle, lighter projectile weight will increase the distance of the projectile as compare using a heavier projectile or a lower stop angle. |

Your learning
reflection on this Hypothesis testing activity |
During the
first lesson, it took me awhile to understand how the calculation and the
graphs works. I did try to understand in class but still wasn’t sure about it.
Even after doing the practice question I’m still blur on how the calculation works.
But after consulting Mr Ting, he explain to me in a way that it was easy for
me to understand how the graph work. It still took me time to understand how
to use the calculation correctly. After trying it out for a few times, I finally
manage to do the calculation all by myself with little mistakes which is a
big improvement for me. |
