Quality control in a factory pulls 40 parts with paint, packaging, or electronic defects from anassembly line. Of these, 28 had a paint defect, 17 had a packaging defect, 13 had an electronicdefect, 6 had both paint and packaging defects, 7 had both packaging and electronics defects, and 10had both paint and electronic defects. Did any part have all three types of defect? If so, how many?

A machine produces parts that are either good (90%), slightly defective (2%), or obviously defective (8%). Produced parts get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. What is the quality of the parts that make it through the inspection machine and get shipped?

- Representatives of the Patriot Insurance Company take medical information over the telephone from prospective policy applicants prior to a visit to the applicant’s place of residence by a registered nurse who takes vital sign measurements. When the telephone interview has incorrect or incomplete information, the entire process of approving the application is unnecessarily delayed and has the potential of causing loss of business. The following data were collected to see how many applications contain errors. Each sample has 200 randomlyselected applications. Sample Defects Sample Defects 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 20 18 29 12 14 11 30 25 27 16 25 18 25 16 20 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 15 40 35 21 24 9 20 17 28 10 17 22 14 19 20 a.

- 380,000 automotive A-Frame brackets are stamped in a year with a complex process involving shearing, forming, stamping, and heat treating. Each bracket has 6 Critical To Quality features. 627 brackets had at least one defect. Evaluation of the 627 brackets showed a total of, 1191 defects. Calculate the defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Calculate the defects per million (DPM). Calculate the defective units per million (DUPM).arrow_forward1.

Three characteristics are inspected on a random selection of 800 boards per week. Over the last week, four defects for one characteristic were identified, two defects for another characteristic, and one defect for the third characteristic were identified.

- An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine she operates. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart.
