Suppose that an engineer in charge of a car panel manufacturing process of 30 panels models the time to complete the manufacturing process to follow a gamma distribution with parameters α= 9 and β= 2. Let X represent the random variable that measures this time in minutes.
a) What is the mean of this distribution?
b) What is the standard deviation of this distribution?
c) Calculate P (8≤X≤16)
d) What is the 90th percentile of this distribution?

4. Suppose that you are the engineer in the charge of the
gasification section of the Acme Substitute Natural Gas Company.
ASNG Co. runs fixed-bed, dry-ash gasifiers. The raw gas is cleaned,
shifted, and sent to a methane synthesis unit. Every morning you
receive a report from ASNG’s analytical laboratory on the
characteristics of the coal that will be fed to the gasifiers
during the next day’s operations. One important characteristic is
the ash fusion temperature (AFT), i.e., the temperature...

An engineer in charge of a production process that produces a
stain for outdoor decks
has designed a study to test the research hypotheses that an
additive to the stain will produce
an increase in the ability of the stain to resist water absorption.
The mean absorption rate of the
stain without the additive is µ = 40 units. The engineer places the
stain with the additive on n =
50 pieces of decking material and records? = 36.4 and...

As a manufacturing engineer you have installed a new process.
This process you feel improved the assembly time of the device.
You have gathered the following "old process" time and "new
process" time. All times are in minutes. Assume the population of
paired differences is approximately normally distributed.
The findings are in the following table.

A manufacturing company for car
batteries uses lead in its manufacturing process. Workers are
encouraged to shower, shampoo, and change
clothes before going home to eliminate the transfer of lead to
their children, but there is still concern that children are being
exposed by their parents. A study is carried out to determine
whether workers carry lead dust home. 33 of the workers children
were selected as subjects, and a blood tests for each child
determines the level of...

Suppose you are in the market for a new car. You identify two
models that you like and are considering a final purchase decision.
The vehicle details are as follows:
One is a high fuel efficient vehicle with a fuel cost per mile
of $0.10 and the other is a low fuel efficient vehicle with a fuel
cost per mile of $0.15.
The high efficiency vehicle costs $47,500 in time period 0 (no
discounting); the low efficiency vehicle costs $32,500...
