a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Effect on optimal value of n and k is to be determined if δ increased from 1 to 2.

Concept Introduction:

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Effect on optimal value of n and k is to be determined if π increased from 0.05 to 0.10.

Concept Introduction:

Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.

Exponential distribution is a probabilitydistribution which finds probability of an event to occur between independent constant rate and continous rate.

c

Flextronchip, an OEM manufacturer, has a fifth-generation chip for cell phones, with chip specification of 0.2 ± 0.0002 mm for the distance between two adjacent pins. The loss due to a defective chip has been estimated as $28.   Required: 1. Compute the value of k, the cost coefficient in the Taguchi quality loss function (QLF), L(x) = k(x − T)2. 2. Assume that the quality control manager takes a sample of 100 chips from the production process. The results are as follows:   Measurement Frequency 0.1996 2 0.1997 6 0.1998 14 0.1999 9 0.2000 45 0.2001 9 0.2002 8 0.2003 5 0.2004 2   a. & b. Use the appropriate Taguchi quality loss function, L(x), to calculate the estimated quality loss for each of the observed measurements. Additionally, calculate the expected (i.e., average) loss per unit for the production process as a whole.
Which of the following are features of sharp RD designs? A They can only be used when an instrument can be found for C, the assignment variable. B They can be used for exploratory data analysis, but not to try to determine causal relationships. C Treatment status is a deterministic function of C, the assignment variable. D Treatment status is a discontinuous function of C, because no matter how close C gets to the cutoff, treatment remains unchanged until the cutoff is reached.
Vilfredo Pareto was a famous engineer/economist in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He reportedly expressed this 80/20 Rule: 80% of all progress results from 20% of the actions taken.  The Pareto Diagram, also called a Juran Diagram, depicts a variant 80/20 Rule: 80% of all production problems come from 20% of the problem areas. a. What kind of statistical chart is the Pareto Diagram? ____ (enter H for histogram, P for probability distribution, T for a Taguchi chart, A for all three of these. N for none of these.   b. The value of the Pareto Diagram is its highlighting the areas causing 80% of quality problems. ____ (enter T for true or F for false)
