Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

Out of 1500 units produced by a company 1,477 are found to be free of a particular type of defect. One needs to rate the performance based on Six Sigma Theory.

STEP 2

Manager can define the performance of a product using defects per million units DPMO metric

DPMO can be find by using

DPMO = Total number of defects in a sample/ No. of opportunities of per error per unit x No. of units * 1,000,000

          = 1500 - 1477/ 1 x 1500* 1,000,000

          = 23/1500

          = 15,333,33

The defect rate of the process can be find by

Defect rate = No. of defects/ No. of units * 100

                   = 1500 - 1477/1500 * 100

                   = 23/1500 * 100

                   = 1.53%

Six Sigma theory focuses on achieving 3.4 defects per million for a certain period of time. However in this, performance of the process is not as good as stated by the manager.

Given Information:  

Total units = 1500

Defect free units = 1477

Required Information:  

six-sigma performance = ?

Answer:

six-sigma performance:

DPU = 0.0153333

DMPU = 15333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The six sigma is measure of quality enhancement in the organizations. There are six levels 1 to 6 where 1 represents lowest quality level and 6 represents highest quality level .

No. of defective units = total no. of units - defect free units

No. of defective units = 1500 - 1477

No. of defective units = 23

Defects per unit (DPU) is given by

DPU = No. of defective units/total no. of units

DPU = 23/1500

DPU = 0.0153333

DPU = 1.53 %

Defects per million units (DMPU) is given by

DMPU = DPU*1 million

DMPU = 0.0153333*1,000,000

DMPU = 15333.33

For six-sigma level DMPU must be equal or less than 3.4.

15333.33 is way more than 3.4 so the performance is not that great!

Please help me solve this practice SAT question!
lord [1]

Answer:

t=5

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ (t,17) lies on (x,y) plane y=x²-3x+7,t>0

∴ 17=t²-3t+7

t²-3t+7-17=0

t²-3t-10=0

t²-5t+2t-10=0

t(t-5)+2(t-5)=0

(t-5)(t+2)=0

t=5,-2

t>0

so t=5

Richard has just been given an l0-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which o
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct

This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

10 questions.

This means that n = 10

A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

This is P(X = 10)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024

0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.

B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

None correctly, so P(X = 0)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly

C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

Since P(X = 0) = 0.1074, from item b.

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926

0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.

D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

This is

P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055

P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0

So

P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
