1. A quality control engineer knows that 10% of the microprocessor chips produced by a machine are defective. Out of a large shipment‚ five chips are chosen at random. What is the probability that none of them is defective? What is the probability that at least one is defective? 2. An automated manufacturing process produces a component with an average width of 7.55 centimeters‚ with a standard deviation of 0.02 centimeter. All components deviating by more than 0.05 centimeter from the mean must

If a tax of 20% is introduced on all items associated with the maintenance and repair of cars (i.e.‚ everything is made 20% more expensive)‚ what will be the variance of the annual cost of maintaining and repairing a car?

Methodology First‚ since all the data came from the case and was already on an Excel spreadsheet‚ we began by calculating the expected time‚ variance‚ expedition available and slope for each task using the formulas below. Expected time=(optimistic+4*(most likely)+pessimistic)/6 Variance=((pessimistic-optimistic)/6)^2 Expedition available=Crash time-Expected time Slope= Expedition available/(Crash cost-Normal cost) Calculation results can be found in Table 1 in
