Interpretation:Values of alpha and beta are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample. These limits gives a range to the data available.
Answer to Problem 61AP
The producers risk
The consumers risk
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The AQL and LTPD are 5 percent and 10 percent respectively.
A and B supply the product D to company N in the lot sizes of 100 and 1,000 respectively. 10 percent chips are selected at random and the lot is rejected if two or more defective chips are found.
First, calculate the producers risk
Manufacturer A supplies the chips in the lot size of 100
10 percent of chips in a lot of 100 is the
A lot is rejected if the number of defects
The hypothesis of the test is
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 10
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The producers risk
Now, calculate the consumers risk
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 10
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The consumers risk
The consumer risk is more than the producer risk for manufacturer A.
The producers risk
Manufacturer A supplies the chips in the lot size of 1,000
10 percent of chips in a lot of 100 is the sample size, n = 100
A lot is rejected if the number of defects
The hypothesis of the test is
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 100
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The producers risk
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 100
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The consumers risk
The consumer risk is less than the producer risk for manufacturer B.
Reject the lot if more than 10 percent of the chips in a sample are defective.
Therefore, for manufacturer A, c = 1 and for manufacturer B, c = 10.
Manufacturer B is in a more advantageous position than A. The hypothesis of the test is
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 100
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The producers risk
Now, calculate the consumers risk
X is the number of defectives in the sample
n is the sample size of the first sample = 100
If the number of defectives in the sample is less than or equal to
Consider
The consumers risk

- Dash and Lily Corporation wanted to raise funds for the poor. The first prizefor a raffle is P500,000 (with aprobability of 0.001) and the second prize is P250,000 (with a probability of0.003). What is a fair price to pay for a single ticket in this raffle? a. Give: what are the given information. b. Requirement: what is requirement. c. Solution: show step by step solution d. Answer: what is the final answer e. Analysis: identify the use of the result in risk managementarrow_forwardThe assistant controller for the New England Region, Jack Isner, has been a close friend of the New Haven store manager for over 20 years. When Isner saw the segmented income statement [as prepared in requirement (1)], he realized that the New Haven store manager had really gone overboard on advertising expenditures. To make his friend look better to the regional management, he reclassified $50,000 of the advertising expenditures as miscellaneous expenses, and buried them in rent and other costs. Comment on the ethical issues in the assistant controller’s actions.arrow_forwardAt an Oxford grocery store, the manager Jenny Produce buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. In her focus on quality, each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week Jenny can buy fresh lettuce for $10.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $22.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 270 boxes with a standard deviation of 44 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should Jenny purchase tomorrow?

- Large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips are made in one department of an electronics firm. These chips are incorporated into analog devices that are then encased in epoxy. The yield is not particularly good for LSI manufacture, so the AQL specified by that department is 9% while the LTPD acceptable by the assembly department is 44%. Assume the company is willing to accept a consumer's risk of 10 percent and a producer's risk of 5 percent. (Use Exhibit 10.16.) (pictured below) A. Find the sample size. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) B.How would you tell someone to do the test? Randomly sample LSI using the sample size from part a, reject the lot if more than _____ defective.arrow_forwardThe sales of digital cameras (in millions of units) in year t is given by the function f(t) = 3.04t + 6.82 (0 ≤ t ≤ 3) where t = 0 corresponds to the end of 2001. Over that same period, the sales of film cameras (in millions of units) is given by g(t) = −1.65t + 16.43 (0 ≤ t ≤ 3).

However, the size of a pig's heart valve cannot be ascertained before the heart is purchased and opened. Therefore, EL has a mismatch problem: shortages of some sizes and excess of others. A program was established to document the size distribution of valves supplied by each supplier, and purchases were made from those suppliers with the needed sizes. Linear programming was used to determine the set of the suppliers that collectively satisfied EL's demand. Suppose EL purchases pig valves from three suppliers. The cost and size mix of the valves purchased from each supplier are given in the table below. Each month EL places one order with each supplier. Suppose next month, 250 large, 300 medium, and 100 small valves are needed. Formulate an LP that can be used to minimize the cost of acquiring the needed valves and use Excel's Solver to…arrow_forward

Maya, who is the store manager at the Bethesda store, is also responsible for the store’s replenishment functions. Maya is interested in establishing a standard replenishment policy for some of her steady, non-seasonal products of which paperclips is one. Paperclips sell in small boxes that contain two hundred units. Maya estimates that Clips Bethesda sells 100 boxes of paperclips in a typical week and that the purchase price for Clips per box of paperclips is $2.00. The fixed ordering cost any time an order is placed is $20. Maya also estimates a nominal holding cost of $0.10 per box per week.
