A. For Type 1 Error to happen, everything should be going right, and yet the production should stop. In this case, Probability of defective , P(D) = 0.1, Probability of non Defective, P(ND) = 0.9. Now , for Type 1 error to happen, atleast 2 out of 4 chips that are picked are to be defective.
Probability of 2 chips defective, 2 chips non defective is given by, P(2) = = 0.81%
Probability of 3 chips defective, 1 chips non defective is given by, P(3) = = 0.09%
Probability of 4 chips defective , 0 chips non defective is given by, P(4) = = 0.01%
Total Probability of Type 1 error is given by , P(2)+ P(3)+P(4) = 0.81% +0.09% +0.01% = 0.91%
For Type 2 Error to happen, production process has to be in trouble and yet the production shouldnt stop. In this case, Probability of defective , P(D) = 0.4, Probability of non Defective, P(ND) = 0.6. Now , for Type 2 error to happen, only 1 out of 4 chips that are picked are to be defective.
Probability of 1 chips defective, 3 chips non defective is given by, P(1) = = 8.6%
So, there is a 8.6% probability of committing a Type 2 Error.
B. The probability that everything will be shutdown if everyhting was going right is given by the Type 1 Error, which is 0.91%.( The entire explanation is given in the first part).
C. The probability of missed alarm is given by Type 2 Error = 8.6%. (The explanation of which is given in the first part)
D. Cost of Testing a chip = $10
Cost of Missed Alarm = $10000
Cost of False Alarm = $2000
Total cost of Missed Alarm = ($10000+ 4* $10 )*8.6%= $863.44
Total cost of False Alarm = ( $2000 + 4 *$10 )*0.91%= $18.56
Sice, the cost of Missed Alarm is more, it is better to avoid the missed alarm, which means it is better to stop the production, if there is one defective in the lot of 4 chips.

1. Many companies use a incoming shipments of parts, raw materials, and so on. In the electronics industry, component parts are commonly shipped from suppliers in large lots. Inspection of a sample of n components can be viewed as the n trials of a binomial experimem. The outcome for each component tested (trialD will be that the component is classified as good or defective defective components in the lot do not exceed 1 %. Suppose a random sample of fiver...
