There are 5% defective parts manufactured by your production line, and you would like to find these before they are shipped. A quick and inexpensive inspection method has been devised that identifies 8% of parts as defective. Of parts identified as defective, 50% are truly defective.
a. Complete a probability tree for this situation.
b. Find the probability that a defective part will be identified
(ie, the conditional probability of being identified given that the
part was defective).
c. Find the probability that a part is defective or is identified
as being defective.
d. Are the events “identified” and “defective” independent? How do
you know?
e. Could an inspection method be useful if the events“identified”
and “defective” were independent? Please explain.

6. Suppose that 10% of all the parts manufactured on a certain assembly line are defective. The line produces new part every 7 min, and each new part is tested. The assembly line will be stopped for inspection when 10 defective parts have been found. what is the probability that the line will be stopped before 8 hours?

3. A manufactured part is defective with probability 1/6. Assume that n (a large number) parts are produced each day in a factory and X is the number of defective parts. (a) Compute EX. (b) Find the approximate probability that X differs from its expectation by less than 10%, in terms of n and Φ. (c) How large should n be so that the probability in (b) is larger than 0.99? 4. Suppose that it takes an engineer T hours...

Suppose that 8% of products on a production line are defective. An inspector randomly selects these products one at a time until he finds a defective product. There are two parts to this problem. a. What is the probability that at least 12 products must be inspected in order to find the first defective product? Start this part of the problem by stating what X is in words and giving its complete distribution (i.e., write "X = ____" and "X...

A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...

4. Wireless Communications: Background: Per recitation, a wireless communication signal traveling from a cellphone tower to your phone bounces off numerous obstacles, causing multiple copies of the transmitted signal with different delays to arrive at your phone. These copies can add constructively or destructively, resulting in an effect called "multipath fading". The simplest (and perhaps most common) model for such is Rayleigh fading, which is a consequence of the (celebrated) Central Limit Theorem that we will learn later in the...

Introduction: A manufacturing company that possesses many complexities can be highly challenged when maintaining production goals and standards in conjunction with a major organizational change. Garment manufacturing is a complex industry for many reasons. The product line is a complex array of styles, seasons, varying life cycles and multidimensional sizing. Many sewn product firms are viewing TQM as the appropriate strategy to meet the double demand of competition and quality; however, many companies are finding sustaining their TQM adoption decision...
