b) You visit your Manufacturing division, which has a machine producing metal bolts. In a tray of these bolts, 94% are within the allowable diameter tolerance value. The remainder exceed the tolerance. You withdraw six bolts at random from the tray. Determine the probabilities that;
(i) Two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
(ii) More than two of the six bolts exceed the diameter.
Here P(Witning allowable diameter tolerance value) = p = 0.94
P(Not within allowable diameter tolerance value) = q = 0.06
Here number of bolts = n = 6
(i) P(x = 2) = BINOMIAL (x = 2; n = 6; q = 0.06) = 6C2 (0.06)2(0.94)4 = 0.0422
(ii) P(x > 2) = 1 - P(x
2) = 1 - BINOMIAL (2; 6 ; 0.06; true) = 1 - 0.9962 =
0.0038

You are part of an accounting firm Advisory team that has been engaged by a client to assess how they might make their “sales to order” process more “efficient”, perhaps with the introduction of new technologies. The client has provided a written description of their business, and the process under review, as follows: HHH is a small manufacturer of university based sportswear (a highly competitive market where fast response times are prized by customers). Sales span every region of the...

You roll a six-sided die. Find the probability of each of the following scenarios. (a) Rolling a 6 or a number greater than 3 (b) Rolling a number less than 4 or an even number (c) Rolling a 4 or an odd number (a) P(6 or number> 3)- (Round to three decimal places as needed) (b) P/1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 6)-( Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) P(4 or 1 or 3 or 5)...
Can you answer only question 5and 6 Questions: 1. How could the promotion of UK Hoover have been better designed? Be as specific as you can. 2. Given the fiasco that did occur, how do you think Maytag should have responded? 3. Comment on the following statement: “Firing the three top executives of UK Hoover is unconscionable. It smacks of a vendetta against European managers by an American parent. After all, their only ‘crime’ was a promotion that was too...
