Question

TABLE 11-4. One criterion used to evaluate employees in theassembly section of a large factory is the number of defectivepieces per 1,000 parts produced. The quality control departmentwants to find out whether there is a relationship between years ofexperience and defect rate. Since the job is repetitious, after theinitial training period any improvement due to a learning effectmight be offset by a loss of motivation. A defect rate iscalculated for each worker in a yearly evaluation. The results for100 workers are given in the table below.
Referring to Table 11-4, what is the expected number ofemployees with 1 to 4 years of training time and a high defectrate? a. 12.00 b. 8.64 c. 6.67 d. 6.00
