Large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips are made in one department of an electronics firm. These chips are incorporated into analog devices that are then encased in epoxy. The yield is not particularly good for LSI manufacture, so the AQL specified by that department is 0.15 while the LTPD acceptable by the assembly department is 0.40. Assume the company is willing to accept a consumer's risk of 10 percent and a producer's risk of 5 percent. Find the sample size. Use Exhibit 10.16. Note: if the exact value of the computed LTPD ÷ AOQ ratio does not appear in Exhibit 10.16, use the next higher ratio. Note: Round up your answer to the next whole number. How would you tell someone to do the test?

It costs a pharmaceutical company 75,000 to produce a 1000-pound batch of a drug. The average yield from a batch is unknown but the best case is 90% yield (that is, 900 pounds of good drug will be produced), the most likely case is 85% yield, and the worst case is 70% yield. The annual demand for the drug is unknown, with the best case being 20,000 pounds, the most likely case 17,500 pounds, and the worst case 10,000 pounds. The drug sells for 125 per pound and leftover amounts of the drug can be sold for 30 per pound. To maximize annual expected profit, how many batches of the drug should the company produce? You can assume that it will produce the batches only once, before demand for the drug is known.
A new edition of a very popular textbook will be published a year from now. The publisher currently has 1000 copies on hand and is deciding whether to do another printing before the new edition comes out. The publisher estimates that demand for the book during the next year is governed by the probability distribution in the file P10_31.xlsx. A production run incurs a fixed cost of 15,000 plus a variable cost of 20 per book printed. Books are sold for 190 per book. Any demand that cannot be met incurs a penalty cost of 30 per book, due to loss of goodwill. Up to 1000 of any leftover books can be sold to Barnes and Noble for 45 per book. The publisher is interested in maximizing expected profit. The following print-run sizes are under consideration: 0 (no production run) to 16,000 in increments of 2000. What decision would you recommend? Use simulation with 1000 replications. For your optimal decision, the publisher can be 90% certain that the actual profit associated with remaining sales of the current edition will be between what two values?
You now have 10,000, all of which is invested in a sports team. Each year there is a 60% chance that the value of the team will increase by 60% and a 40% chance that the value of the team will decrease by 60%. Estimate the mean and median value of your investment after 50 years. Explain the large difference between the estimated mean and median.
In Example 11.3, if a batch fails to pass inspection, the entire batch is unusable. Change the model so that if a batch fails to pass inspection, it is reworked, and at the end of the rework, its entire yield (the same yield determined in column C) is usable. However, the rework takes 3, 4, or 5 days with respective probabilities 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3. Run the simulation for the modified model and comment on how the results change.
Large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips are made in one department of an electronics firm. These chips are incorporated into analog devices that are then encased in epoxy. The yield is not particularly good for LSI manufacture, so the AQL specified by that department is 9% while the LTPD acceptable by the assembly department is 44%. Assume the company is willing to accept a consumer's risk of 10 percent and a producer's risk of 5 percent. (Use Exhibit 10.16.) (pictured below) A. Find the sample size. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.) B.How would you tell someone to do the test? Randomly sample LSI using the sample size from part a, reject the lot if more than _____ defective.
Deborah Kellogg buys Breathalyzer test sets for the Winter Park Police Department. The quality of the test sets from her two suppliers is indicated in the following table: For example, the probability of getting a batch of tests that are 1% defective from Winter Park Technology is .70. Because Kellogg orders 10,000 tests per order, this would mean that there is a .70 probability of getting 100 defective tests out of the 10,000 tests if Winter Park Technology is used to fill the order. A defective Breathalyzer test set can be repaired for $0.50. Although the quality of the test sets of the second supplier, Dayton Enterprises, is lower, it will sell an order of 10,000 test sets for $37 less than Winter Park. a) Develop a decision tree. b) Which supplier should Kellogg use?

Jankord Jewelers permits the return of their diamond wedding rings, provided the return occurs within two weeks. Typically, 20 percent are returned. If nine rings are sold today, what is the probability that fewer than four will be returned? A- 0.914 B- 0.962 C- 0.923 D- 0.935
A hardware company sells a lot of low-cost, high volume products. For one such product, it is equally likely that annual unit sales will be low or high. If sales are low (30,000), the company can sell the product for $20 per unit. If sales are high (70,000), a competitor will enter and the company will be able to sell the product for only $15 per unit. The variable cost per unit has a 20% chance of being $10, a 60% chance of being $11, and a 20% chance of being $12. Annual fixed costs are $20,000.a. Use simulation to estimate the company’s expected annual profit.b. Find a 95% interval for the company’s annual profit, that is, an interval such that about 95% of the actual profits are inside it.c. Now suppose that annual unit sales, variable cost, and unit price are equal to their respective expected values—that is, there is no uncertainty. Determine the company’s annual profit for this scenario. d. Can you conclude from the results in parts a and c that the expected profit from a…

After meeting with the regional sales managers, Lauretta Anderson, president of Cowpie Computers, Inc., you find that she believes that the probability that sales will grow by 10% in the next year is 0.70. After coming to this conclusion, she receives a report that John Cadariu of Minihard Software, Inc., has just announced a new operating system that will be available for customers in 8 months. From past history she knows that in situations where growth has eventually occurred, new operating systems have been announced 30% of the time. However, in situations where growth has not eventually occurred, new operating systems have been announced 10% of the time. Based on all these facts, what is the probability that sales will grow by 10%?

Writing Standard Produce (when writing or speaking) a topic sentence or main idea, provide some facts or details about the topic, and provide a concluding statement.
