CNN Speed-Up & Statistical Analysis

The document reports data from several studies measuring various medical outcomes. It provides the data and asks questions about calculating confidence intervals and performing statistical tests on the data. For one study, a normal distribution was fitted to the speed-up data from a parallel computing architecture study. A 95% confidence interval was constructed for the mean speed-up as well as a lower bound. For another study on tumor appearance times, a 95% confidence interval was calculated for the standard deviation. Proportions and confidence intervals were also calculated for data on healed meniscal tears. Finally, a z-test was performed to test if the mean output voltage of a power supply was different than the hypothesized mean of 5 volts.

8-39 An article in Computers & Electrical Engineering [“Parallel Simulation of Cellular


Neural Networks” (1996, Vol. 22, pp. 61–84)] considered the speed-up of cellular
neural networks (CNN) for a parallel general-purpose computing architecture based
on six transputers in different areas. The data follow:
3.775302 3.350679 4.217981 4.030324 4.639692 4.139665 4.395575 4.824257
4.268119 4.584193 4.930027 4.315973 4.600101

(a) Is there evidence to support the assumption that speed-up of CNN is normally
distributed? Include a graphical display in your answer.

A normal distribution is a bell-shaped distribution. Theoretically, a normal


distribution is continuous and may be depicted as a density curve

8.50 An article in Cancer Research [“Analyses of LitterMatched Time-to-Response
Data, with Modifications for Recovery of Interlitter Information” (1977, Vol. 37, pp.
3863–3868)] tested the tumorigenesis of a drug. Rats were randomly selected from
litters and given the drug. The times of tumor appearance were recorded as follows:

101, 104, 104, 77, 89, 88, 104, 96, 82, 70, 89, 91, 39, 103, 93, 85, 104, 104, 81, 67,

Calculate a 95% confidence interval on the standard deviation of time until a tumor
appearance. Check the assumption of normality of the population and comment on
the assumptions for the confidence interval.

8.54 An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy [“Arthroscopic
Meniscal Repair with an Absorbable Screw: Results and Surgical Technique” (2005,

3 and 6 mm from the meniscus rim were healed.

that will heal.

9.23 A manufacturer is interested in the output voltage of a power supply used in a
PC. Output voltage is assumed to be normally distributed, with standard deviation
0.25 volt, and the manufacturer wishes to test H0: μ 5 volts against H1 is not 5 volts,
using n = 8 units. In Exercise 9-20, calculate the P-value if the observed statistic is (a)
