Expert Solution

Solution:

Given:

A process produces components with mean tensile strength of 85 MPa and standard deviation of 13 MPa.

Mean =

Standard deviation =

The lowest acceptable strength is 40 MPa.

We have to find ppm of samples that would be defective.

First find:

P( X < 40 ) =...........?

Find z score for x = 40

Thus we get:

P( X < 40 ) =P( Z < -3.46 )

Look in z table for z = -3.4 and 0.06 and find corresponding area.

P( Z < -3.46 ) = 0.0003

Thus

P( X < 40 ) =P( Z < -3.46 )

P( X < 40 ) = 0.0003

We have to find  ppm ( parts per million) of samples would be defective.

ppm of samples would be defective = 1,000,000 X 0.0003

ppm of samples would be defective = 300
