Answer: D. Derek assumed the risk of a bear attack by joining the tour group, so he cannot hold the tour company liable

Explanation:

Derek has to accept that by joining the tour group, he assumed some the risk of some elements of danger amongst them the bear attack.

Even though there had been no prior attack by bears in the mountain, a mountain hike still has some inherent danger in it and this includes bears. He cannot hold the tour company liable using this reason alone.

mars1129 [50]

Answer: The company must rebuild the units.

Explanation: We must compare the benefits obtained by selling the defective units with the benefits obtained by selling the reconstructed units.

If we sell the defective units: 600 units × $2 =<u> $1200 </u>

Versus

If we sell the rebuilt units:<u> 600 units x ($5 - $0.60 [Materials] - $1 [Labor] - $0.80 [Overhead]) =</u>

<u>= 600 x ($2,60) = $1560.</u>

<u>Then it is convenient to rebuild the defective units to obtain a greater benefit.</u>

Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer m
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are total 5 batches and two boards are selected from each batch for inspection.

Let the boards are numbered from 1 to 5.

If the selected boards are 1 and 2, then it is represented in pair as (1, 2).

If the selected boards are 1 and 3, then it is represented in pair as (1, 3).

Similarly, other pairs can be obtained.

a) Let X be the number of defective boards observed among the two inspected.

If the boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a lot of five, then

(1,2),x=2; (1,3),x=1; (1,4),x=1; (1,5),x=1;

(2,3),x=1; (2,4),x=1; (2,5),x=1;

(3,4),x=0;\ (3,5),x=0;\ (4,5),x=0.(3,4),x=0; (3,5),x=0; (4,5),x=0.

P(X=0)=  3/10 =0.3

P(X=1)={6 \over 10}=0.6P(X=1)=  6/10 =0.6

P(X=2)={1 \over 10}=0.1P(X=2)=  1/10 =0.1

b)

x                  0               1                    2

p(x)            0.3           0.6                0.1

​

​μ  X  =0⋅0.3+1⋅0.6+2⋅0.1=0.8

σ  X ² =(0−0.8)²  ⋅0.3+(1−0.8)²  ⋅0.6+(2−0.8)² ⋅0.1=0.36

μₓ=0.8, σX  =0.6
