Answer:

  11.75 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we ignore the fact that "6-sigma" quality means the error rate corresponds to about -4.5σ (3.4 ppm) and simply go with ...

  P(z ≤ -6) ≈ 9.86588×10^-10

and

  P(z ≤ -4.5) ≈ 3.39767×10^-6

the ratio of these error rates is about 0.000290372. We're multiplying the error rate by 0.5 each year, so we want to find the power of 0.50 that gives this value:

  0.50^t = 0.000290372

  t·log(0.50) = log(0.00290372) . . . . take logarithms

  t = log(0.000290372)/log(0.50) ≈ -3.537045/-0.301030

  t ≈ 11.75

It will take about 11.75 years to achieve Six Sigma quality (0.99 ppb error rate).

<em>Comment on Six Sigma</em>

A 3.4 ppm error rate is customarily associated with "Six Sigma" quality. It assumes that the process may have an offset from the mean of up to 1.5 sigma, so the "six sigma" error rate is P(z ≤ (1.5 -6)) = P(z ≤ -4.5) ≈ 3.4·10^-6.

Using that same criteria for the "4.5-Sigma" quality level, we find that error rate to be P(z ≤ (1.5 -4.5)) = P(z ≤ -3) ≈ 1.35·10^-3.

Then the improvement ratio needs to be only 0.00251699, and it will take only about ...

  t ≈ log(0.00251699)/log(0.5) ≈ 8.6 . . . . years

Find the measure of b+d. A. 74 B. 90 C. 32 D. 58
Sav [38]

Answer:

B. 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral inscribed in the circle with center O is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Therefore,

(b + d) + (32° + 58°) = 180°

b + d + 90° = 180°

b + d = 180° - 90°

b + d = 90°

hjlf

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag A: 30 cents per bag

Bag B: 31 cents per bag

In order to find Cents per bag divide the number of bags from the amount it costs.

Bag A: 6 ÷ 20 = 0.30

Bag B: 9.92 ÷ 32 = 0.31
