The compressors used in refrigerators are manufactured by XYZ Co. at three factories at New York , and
California, It is known that the New York factory produces twice as many compressors as the California
one, Which produces the same number as the California one (during the same period). Experience also
shows That 0.2% of the compressors produced at New York and California are defective and so are 0.4%
of these Produced at California.
A quality control engineer while maintaining a refrigerator finds a defective compressor. What is the
probability that the New York factory is not to be blamed.
An embroidery business in the city of Obregon manufactures clothing, has seen high demand in the months of September-October 2020.The following data was collected: A total of 6000 Levis pants were manufactured in the month of September and October, which qualified as a demanding product. The stand was working hard, in a total of 60 days, from Monday to Sunday, 8 hours shifts, of that time 15 min were for changing the embroidery rolls and one hour for the workers. Due to the high demand of these months there are no Kanban times.
Instructions:
Determine the parts per hour of work that were produced during the months of September and October 2020.
Important: Use the formula (the one I put in the image)
You are recently promoted as the chief traffic management officer of a major city in the country. Based on recent data, you learned that one of the leading causes of road accidents is over speeding.
In your desire to minimize road accidents, you went out to observe how traffic management rules are implemented on the streets. Your attention was caught by a fast - moving car that seemed to be breaking the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour(km/hr.), and so you followed it along the highway. After a short time, the driver of the car noticed you and started to slow down. Eventually, he stopped on the side of the road.
Supposed the speed of the car had been noted during this time and is modeled by the quadratic equation y = 3x² + 17x - 20, where y represents the speed of the car in km/hr. and x represents the number of minutes after you started following the car. How long did it take for the car to be under surveillance before it could finally stop on the side of…

- The number of pair days off taken by eight employees at a local small business is compared to the national average. You are hired by the business owner, who has been in business for just 18 months, to help her determine what to expect for paid days off. In general, she wants to set some standard for her employees and for herself. Let's assume your search on the internet for data on paid days off leaves you with the impression that the national average is 15 days. The data for the eight local employees during the last fiscal year are: 10, 11, 8, 14, 13, 12, 12, and 27 days. 1. Calculate the appropriate t statistic. 2. Draw a statistical conclusion. 3.

- You're a quality engineer at Norman's fouth largest cracker factory. where there are two production lines (A, which produces 20% of cracker boxes, and B which produces the rest). If a line produces more than one defective box in an eight -hour day, a maintenance check on the line is performed. Line A produces an average of 0.061 box defects PER Hour. Given that you're only looking at a line A, what is the probability that you will need a request a maitenance check.arrow_forwardYou are the Manager of a Manufacturing Unit. You have observed that in most of the cases, majority of the teams that reports to you initially seems to be very enthusiastic about the tasks you assigned to them but this enthusiasm does not translate into actual performance until almost half of the time is already gone. However, since majority of teams who report to you are cohesive teams and understand the importance of the given tasks, therefore, they are able to complete almost 80% of the tasks but somehow to finish these tasks on time and expects the extension of deadlines for a day or two.

One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter of body surface area (kg/m²). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2. Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle young men think they should add to be attractive to women. (They are wrong: women actually prefer a level close to that of typical men.) Give your answers to four decimal places. lower limit: kg/m? upper limit: kg/m2arrow_forward
- Many young men in North America and Europe (but not in Asia) tend to think they need more muscle to be attractive. One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms of fat‑free body mass per square meter of body surface area (kg/m2). Typical young men have about 20 kg/m2.. Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self‑image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m2.. Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m2.. If young men thought that their own level of muscle was about what women prefer, the mean "muscle gap" in the study would be 0. We suspect (before seeing the data) that (most) young men tend to think women prefer more muscle than they themselves have.

One of its measures of the quality of service it gives its customers is the dependabilitywith which it mails customers’ monthly accounts. The quality standard it sets itself is thataccounts should be mailed within two days of the ‘nominal post date’ which is specified to thecustomer. Every week the company samples 1,000 customer accounts and records the percentagewhich was not mailed within the standard time. When the process is working normally, only 2per cent of accounts are mailed outside the specified period, that is, 2 per cent are‘defective’Required:Find the control limits and interpret the process conformance.arrow_forwardArsenic is a naturally occurring chemical that can enter groundwater through eroding granite or from a burned forest. A health organization recommends drinking water should contain no more than 10 parts per billion (ppb) of arsenic. A company produces filters to clean arsenic from private wells that could be affected by the groundwater. The company wants to investigate the effectiveness of a new filter compared to that of an older filter. They will test the filters on a field that is bordered on one side by a granite ledge and on the other side by a burned forest. The field is divided into 88 square plots of equal size, and a well to collect groundwater is drilled in the center of each plot. One filter will be used in each well. The following diagram shows the placement of the wells in the field. The company will use four of each type of filter to conduct the investigation. A randomized block design will be used. (a) Assuming there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two…arrow_forward
- As humans we consume food. The body extracts good things such as proteins and vitamins and throws away waste. A typical waste product is a uric acid. High levels of uric acid can be an indication of conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and cancer. For females a high level of uric acid is 6 mg/dL or more and for males a high level of uric acid is 7 mg/dL or more. Suppose, over a period of months, an adult female has taken 8 blood test for uric acid. The results of the test are shown below. results 8.9 6.27 3.99 7.42 9.94 8.99 9.17 5.65 Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of uric acid in this adult female's blood.

At present they are in the process of testing 3 different chemicals (A, B and C) which serve the same purpose. To test the durability of these chemicals, five (5) newly build houses were cleaned with product A, five (5) with product B, and five (5) with product C. The process was repeated until the floor painting showed signs of deterioration. The number of times each new house went through the cleaning before its floor paining deteriorated is shown in the table below.
