Three distinct methods, A, B, and C, are available for teaching a certain industrial skill.

The failure rates are 40%, 30%, and 20%, respectively.

However, due to costs, A is used twice as frequently as B, which is used twice as frequently as C.

(a) What is the overall failure rate in teaching the skill?

(b) A worker is taught the skill, but fails to learn it correctly. What is the probability he was taught by method A?

Two method, A and B, are available for teaching a certain industrial skill. The failure rate is 20% for method A and 10% for method B. Method B is more expensive, however, and hence is used only 40% of the time. (Method A is used the other 60% of the time.) A worker is taught the skill by one of the two methods, but he fails to learn it correctly. What is the probability that he was taught by using...

Three different methods for assembling a product were proposed by an industrial engineer. To investigate the number of units assembled correctly with each method, 30 employees were randomly selected and randomly assigned to the three proposed methods in such a way that each method was used by 10 workers. The number of units assembled correctly was recorded, and the analysis of variance procedure was applied to the resulting data set. The following results were obtained: SST=10,740; SSTR=4,540 a.
