Answer:

The warranty period should be of 32 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean time before failure of 40 months with a standard deviation of 6 months.

This means that \mu = 40, \sigma = 6

What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 10% of the blenders returned?

The warranty period should be the 10th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.28 = \frac{X - 40}{6}

X - 40 = -1.28*6

X = 32

The warranty period should be of 32 months.

Clark Heter is an industrial engineer at Lyons Products. He would like to determine whether there are more units produced on the
Alborosie

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the subscripts d and n represent day and night respectively

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μd ≥ μn

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μd < μn

it is a one-tailed and also a right left test because of the greater than symbol in the alternative hypothesis.

The decision rule is to reject H0: μd ≥ μn If 0.10 > p value

Since the population standard deviations are known, we would use the formula to determine the test statistic(z score)

z = (xd - xn)/√σd²/nd + σn²/nn

Where

xd and xn represents sample means for day and night respectively.

σd and σn represents population standard deviations for day and night respectively.

nd and nn represents number of samples

From the information given,

xd = 334

xn = 341

σd = 23

σ2 = 28

nd = 60

nn = 68

z = (334 - 341)/√23²/60 + 28²/68

= - 7/√20.34607843138

z = - 1.55

From the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.061

Since the level of significance, 0.1 > 0.061, we would reject H0

Therefore, there is enough evidence to conclude that there are more units produced on the night shift than on the day shift.

Answer:

1. All of the above.

2. Kilowatt hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

A power bill can be defined as a utility bill issued by a power utility company (provider) to illustrate the amount of energy (electricity) consumed by a customer.

Power bills usually show the following informations;

1. The total amount due: this represents an amount of money being owed by a consumer to a power utility company. The current amount due in addition to any outstanding balance is reflected in this tab.

2. The Kilowatt hours of electricity used: this represents the amount of electricity that was used by the consumer in the previous month.

3. The payment due date: this represents the least expected date for payment to be made by the consumer. If payment isn't made on or before the due date, the consumer will be disconnected.

<em>Generally, when calculating the power bill, power companies use kilowatt hours. The Kilowatt hours (KWh) represents the amount of energy (electricity) that is being used by a customer on a hourly rate. </em>
