@dumbcow @phi I need help with part A. it seems like its pretty straight forward but im getting the wrong answers.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

add up scrap rates .... 15+7+7 = 29% so only 71% of original is output 0.71 x = 496

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15+7=22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o do they mean 7 for each or 7 for both?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

7 for each step2 and step3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the final answer? im confused

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

x = 496 / 0.71

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried that. its not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 699 when rounding up

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh well i guess i misread it...maybe its 496/.78

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh i hate this hw assignment

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ok then that means the 7% is of new total after taking the 15%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried that too. i did: 496 * .15 = # then take that # and * .07 to get another # finally add the two #s together and add them to 496

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

no you wouldnt take 7% of 496* .15 , it would be 7% of remaining units .85 *496 also i really think its 7% for each step because it does say 3 step process so there is percent for each step --> (.93)(.93)(.85X) = 496 --> X = 496 / (.93)(.93)(.85) try that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! I might need some more help with a different problem here in a few

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is how i had the prob set up: mu +- ( z * sigma/sqrt of n) .96 +- ( .3340 * .04/sqrt of 27)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think im using the wrong z value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

everything else is given pretty much it does say 96 % so i used the z-table an that's how i got .3340

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yeah use diff z value.... .96 is mean but they want 97% interval 1.5% on each tail in table look up z value for .985

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i meant 97... i think im looking at the z-table incorrectly because i do not see anything past 3.0 on one side and .09 on the other

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

for p = .985 , z = 2.17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and everything in the middle ranges from .0000 to .4990

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh ok its a diff type of table, for that table you want % from mean to .985 --> .985 - .5 = .485 look up .485

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that's correct. can you tell me how you got that z value for future reference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 2.1 with .485

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you have to look at top row to get hundredth value .00 .01 .02 ..... .07 2.1 ...... .485

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it makes sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can keep asking u questions? ive been working on this hw for a while now and ive been needing help. its due pretty soon too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 14

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

what is considered capable ? 2 std dev? or 3 std dev?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

within bounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

within the lower and upper control limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im thinking 2 cause the the two limits are both 14 grams away from the mean

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[z = \frac{14}{\sigma}\] z is determined by control limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused about this one :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried using 1.33 as z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.33sigma=14 /1.33 /1.33 10.53
