- Problem 1Human visual inspection is necessary in many quality engineering contexts and is naturallysubject to subjectivity. This is especially true for the inspection of solder joints on circuit boards,as there are numerous types of solder defects, as well as a degree to which a joint possessesone or more defect. Consequently, even highly trained inspectors can disagree on the status ofa particular joint. In a batch of 10,000 such joints, inspector A found 724 to be defective,inspect B found 751 to be defective, and 1159 of the joints were judged to be defective by atleast one of the inspectors. Suppose that one of the 10,000 joints is randomly selected.a. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither ofthe two inspectors?b. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector Bbut not by inspector A?Satomi w eks in a research facility that provides statistical results for the bioengineering firm TechCure.

The system consisted of two parts: a coffee capsule and a machine. The coffee capsule was hermetically sealed in aluminum and contained 5g of roast and ground coffee. The machine consists of four parts –a handle, a water container, a pump, and an electric heating system. These four parts were cast into the body and formed the machine. The new product was introduced in 1986. The original strategy adopted by Nestle was to set up a joint venture with a Swiss-based distributor called Sobal to sell the new product. This joint venture (named Sobal-Nespresso) was supposed to purchase the machines from another Swiss company (called Turmix), the coffee capsules from Nestlé, and then distribute and sell everything as a system one product, one price.
