Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

Out of 1500 units produced by a company 1,477 are found to be free of a particular type of defect. One needs to rate the performance based on Six Sigma Theory.

STEP 2

Manager can define the performance of a product using defects per million units DPMO metric

DPMO can be find by using

DPMO = Total number of defects in a sample/ No. of opportunities of per error per unit x No. of units * 1,000,000

          = 1500 - 1477/ 1 x 1500* 1,000,000

          = 23/1500

          = 15,333,33

The defect rate of the process can be find by

Defect rate = No. of defects/ No. of units * 100

                   = 1500 - 1477/1500 * 100

                   = 23/1500 * 100

                   = 1.53%

Six Sigma theory focuses on achieving 3.4 defects per million for a certain period of time. However in this, performance of the process is not as good as stated by the manager.

Given Information:  

Total units = 1500

Defect free units = 1477

Required Information:  

six-sigma performance = ?

Answer:

six-sigma performance:

DPU = 0.0153333

DMPU = 15333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The six sigma is measure of quality enhancement in the organizations. There are six levels 1 to 6 where 1 represents lowest quality level and 6 represents highest quality level .

No. of defective units = total no. of units - defect free units

No. of defective units = 1500 - 1477

No. of defective units = 23

Defects per unit (DPU) is given by

DPU = No. of defective units/total no. of units

DPU = 23/1500

DPU = 0.0153333

DPU = 1.53 %

Defects per million units (DMPU) is given by

DMPU = DPU*1 million

DMPU = 0.0153333*1,000,000

DMPU = 15333.33

For six-sigma level DMPU must be equal or less than 3.4.

15333.33 is way more than 3.4 so the performance is not that great!

jeka94

Answer:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 300

p = 5% = 0.05

Alpha, α = 0.05

Number of dead pixels , x = 24

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis  

H_{0}: p = 0.05\\H_A: p > 0.05

This is a one-tailed(right) test.  

Formula:

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{24}{300} = 0.08

z = \dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

Putting the values, we get,

z = \displaystyle\frac{0.08-0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{300}}} = 2.384

Now, we calculate the p-value from excel.

P-value = 0.00856

Since the p-value is smaller than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that the true proportion of monitors with dead pixels is greater than 5%.

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
katrin [286]

Answer:

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Poisson distribution  where

t= number of units of time

x= number of occurrences in t units of time

λ= average number of occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raise to power (-λt)  multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

here λt = 25

x= 30

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E= exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Solving it with a statistical calculator would give

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number.
Alika [10]
Figure 1:
3 x 8 x 5 = 120cm³

Figure 2:
2 x 5 x 6 = 60cm³

Total Volume = 120 + 60 = 180cm³

Harriet earns the same amount of money each day. Her gross pay at the end of 7 workdays is 35h+56 dollars.which expression repre
statuscvo [17]

The expression 5h+8 represents Harriet's gross pay each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Gross pay of Harriet = 35h + 56

This expression represent Harriet's pay for 7 day.

Harriet's gross pay per day = \frac{Gross\ pay}{Number\ of\ days}

Harriet's gross pay per day = \frac{35h+56}{7}

Harriet's gross pay per day = \frac{35h}{7}+\frac{56}{7}

Harriet's gross pay per day = 5h+8

The expression 5h+8 represents Harriet's gross pay each day.
