Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

An expression for average annual operating cost is to be determined.

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.

Output from a process contains 0.02 defective unit. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who can test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units?   Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether or not the inspection operation is added. a-1. Without the inspector, what is the current hourly cost of defects?   a-2. Should an inspection station be established to test all units based on costs alone? multiple choice Yes No a-3. If the inspection operation is added, what would be the cost to inspect each unit? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.   b. What would be the benefit (or loss) from establishing the inspection process? Note: Round your answer…
Suppose that you have a four-sided die that is equally weighted (i.e. equal chance of any of the four sides landing face up). The four values on the die are [12.5968, 2, -2 and -12.5968] . Say we roll the die 81 times, record the average, and repeat this process a total of 100 times. According to the Central Limit Theorem and the 68-95-99.7 rule, what is the probability of obtaining an average of -1 or less based on the facts above?  Assume that n is adequately large.  Select the choice that is closest to the answer.   A. 97.5%   B. 68%   C. 16%   D. 84%
