Question
In the process of producing engine valves, the valves are subjected to a first grind. Valves whose thicknesses are within the specification are ready for installation. Those valves whose thicknesses are above the specification are reground, while those whose thicknesses are below the specification are scrapped. Assume that after the first grind, 74% of the valves meet the specification, 18% are reground, and 8% are scrapped. Furthermore, assume that of those valves that are reground, 88% meet the specification, and 12% are scrapped.
- Draw a tree diagram to represent the situation
- Find the
probability that a valve is ground only once - Given that a valve is not reground, what is the probability that it is scrapped?
- Find the probability that a valve is scrapped
- Given that a valve is scrapped, what is the probability that it was ground twice?
- Find the probability that the valve meets the specification (after either the first or second grind).
- Given that a valve meets the specification (after either the first or second grind), what is the probability that it was ground twice?
- Given that a valve meets the specification, what is the probability that it was ground only once?

- External Power Supplies (EPCs) are used to power computers and appliances. Because computers and appliances are plugged in most of the time, power supplies for these devices should consume little energy when not in use (no-load). Until now, an average no-load power consumption of less than .50 watts for EPCs has been required to earn Energy Star certification. Starting next year, the Energy Star certification requirement will be reduced to .30 watts. In anticipation of this change, one manufacturer of EPCs has developed a new, lower consumption model to replace its current Energy Star certified model. The manufacturer has decided to test its no-load power consumption, shipping a sample of 30 new model EPCs to an accredited lab for testing. The manufacturer also sent a larger sample of 100 current model EPCs for comparison. The no-load consumption data for the two models are recorded below. a. First, compare the new model to the current model. Are the data paired or unpaired?

The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.
