Q8
A desk lamp produced by DavidLee Company was found to be defective (D). There are three factories
(A, B, C) where such desk lamps are manufactured. A Quality Control Manager (QCM) is responsible
for investigating the source of found defects. This is what the QCM knows about the company's desk
lamp production and the possible source of defects:
Factory
A
B
с
% of Total Production
25%, or P(A) = 0.25
35%, or P(B) = 0.35
40%, or P(C)=0.40
% of defective
3.5%, or P(D/A) =0.035
4.5%, or P(D/B) = 0.045
6.5%, or P(D/C) = 0.065
If 100 products are randomly selected from these three factories, how many defects will be found?
Economists theorize that the recent recession has affected men more than women because men are typically employed in industries that have been hit hardest by the recession. Women, on the other hand, are typically employed in services which are considered more recession resistant. A sample of
165
men and a sample of
140
women were drawn. In those samples,
20
men were unemployed, and
13
of the women were unemployed. Complete parts a and b below.

- (Devore: Section 3.2 #15) Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspec- tion of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch of inspection. We can represent possible outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1,2) represents the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection. (a) List the ten different possible outcomes. (b) Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X. (c) Let F denote the cdf of X. Determine F(0), F(1) and F(2); then obtain F(x) for all other x.arrow_forwardConsider the following normal form of a game.
