a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Circumstances in which “The probability law describing the number of periods until the process goes out of control follows the geometric distribution” will fail.

Concept Introduction:

Geometric distribution consider a sequence of Bernoulli trials, with constant probability of success p in a single trial. 

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Circumstances in which “The assumption that an out of control condition corresponds to a a shift of the mean equal to δ σ ” will fail.

Concept Introduction:

Standard deviation measures the spread of random variables or the given data from central tendency values or mean. It shows how far the deviation is from mean. A low value of standard deviation shows values are close to mean.

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Circumstance in which “ the assumption that the search cost is a fixed constant a2 ” will fail.

Concept Introduction:

Search cost is a transaction cost. It shows the amount of costs required to find a better product. If the cost gets higher, it leads to increase in transaction cost, thereby becoming a loss to consumer.

9.19 In bottle production, bubbles that appear in the glass are considered defects. Any botle that has more than two bubbles is elassified as "nonconforming" and is sent to recycling Suppose that a particular production line produces bottles with bubbles at a rate of 1. bubbles per bottle. Bubbles occur independently of one another. a What is the probability that a randomly chosen bottle is nonconfornming? b Bottles are packed in cases of 12. An inspector chooses one bottle from each case and examines it for defects. If it is nonconforming, she inspects the entire case, re placing nonconforming bottles with good ones. This process is called rectification If the chosen bottle conforms (has two or fewer bubbles), then she passes the cuse. In total, 20 cases are produced. What is the probability that at least 18 of them pass! c What is the expected number of nonconforming bottles in the 20 cases after they have been inspected and rectified using the scheme described in part b?
A cosmetics company fills its best selling jars of facial cream by an automatic dispensing machine. The machine is set to dispense a mean of 7.2 ounces per jar. Uncontrollable factors in the process can cause either underfill or overfill, both of which are undesireable. In such a case, the dispensing can be stopped and recalibrated. Regardless of the mean amount despensed, the standard deviation of the amount dispwnsed always has a value of 0.25 ounce. A quality control engineer routinely selects 36 jars from the assembly line to check the amounts filled. On one occasion, the sample mean is 7.8 ounces. Determine if there is sufficient evidence  in the sample to indicate, at the 1% level of significance, that the machine should be recalibrated.
Deborah Hollwager, a concessionaire for the Amway cener in Orlando has developed a table of conditional values for the various altenatives(stocking decision) and state of nature (size of crowd)            Alternatives               large       average       small          large inventory         $20,000       $10,000      -$2,000        average inventory     $12,000        $12,000        $8000        small inventory          $10,000        $6,000         $5,000 probabilities associated with the states of nature are 0.35 for a large crowd, 0.50 for an average crowd, and 0.15 for a small crowd. a) The alternative that provides Deborah the greatest expected monetary value (EMv) is the EMV for this decision is $________ b) For Deborah, the expected value of the perfect information (EVPI)=$______
