A heavy equipment manufacturer procures an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) from two suppliers, Movis and Telphi, to reduce the risk of supply chain disruption. Movis supplied 100 ABSs last month, while Telphi did 150 ABSs last month. The manufacturer selected ten ABS samples and conducted an inspection.

(a) What is the probability that no ABSs from Movis is selected in the ten ABS samples?

(b) What is the probability that at least one ABSs from Movis are selected in the ten ABS samples?

(c) Assuming that both suppliers have the same defective rate of 0.01, what is the Probability that there is only one defective out of the 10 ABS samples?

A manufacturer is considering purchasing parts from three different suppliers. The parts received from the suppliers are classified as having a minor defect, having a major defect, or being good. Test results from samples of parts received from each of the three suppliers are shown below. Note that any test with these data is no longer a test of proportions for the three supplier populations because the categorical response variable has three outcomes: minor defect, major defect, and good.

A manufacturer receives parts from two suppliers. An SRS of 400 parts from supplier 1 finds 20 defective; an SRS of 100 parts from supplier 2 finds 10 defective. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all parts from suppliers 1 and 2, respectively, that are defective. Is there evidence of a difference in the proportion of defective parts produced by the two suppliers? To make this determination, you test the hypotheses H0 : p1 = p2 and Ha...

Handi Inc., a cell phone manufacturer, procures a standard display from LCD Inc. via an options contract. At the start of quarter 1 (Q1), Handi pays LCD $4.00 per option. At that time, Handi’s forecast of demand in Q2 is normally distributed with a mean of 30,000 and a standard deviation of 9,000. At the start of Q2, Handi learns exact demand for Q2 and then exercises options at the fee of $2.70 per option, (for every exercised option, LCD...

A pharmaceutical manufacturer purchases a particular material from two different suppliers. The mean level of impurities in the raw material is approximately the same for both suppliers, but the manufacturer is concerned about the variability of the impurities from shipment to shipment. If the level of impurities tends to vary excessively for one source of supply, it could affect the quality of the pharmaceutical product. To compare the variation in percentage impurities for the two suppliers, the manufacturer selects 11...

A pharmaceutical manufacturer purchases a particular material from two different suppliers. The mean level of impurities in the raw material is approximately the same for both suppliers, but the manufacturer is concerned about the variability of the impurities from shipment to shipment. To compare the variation in percentage impurities for the two suppliers, the manufacturer selects 9 shipments from each of the two suppliers and measures the percentage of impurities in the raw material for each shipment. The sample means...

Crawford Industries purchases step-down electrical converters from two suppliers. The converters from the two suppliers appear to have the same average life (measured in hours) but the variability in useful life appears be different for the two suppliers. In random samples of 9 converters from supplier A and 9 converters from supplier B, the variance in the sample A was 600; the variance in the sample B was 2800. Assume that the life of the converters is normally distributed in...

1. 3N Nano-manufacturing purchases Anti-Static Dust-Free suits from a variety of suppliers. However, they have noticed that too many of their products must be discarded due to contamination from defective protective suits. Discarding a finished product costs much more than the suits. a. A close inspection of the suits before use would eliminate almost all defective suits, and contaminated products, but would add some costs. What problems might emerge if 3N offered to pay a premium to suppliers to inspect...
