Question

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS .006

PLEASE SHOW ME THE STEPS

The diameter of a forged crankshaft is specified as 1.2 plusminus 0.02 in. Past experience with the forging process gives a mean value of 1.2 in and a standard deviation of 0.005 in. Find the percent of discarded crankshafts. Assume normal distribution for the diameter of the crankshafts. The life of a heat exchanger (in thousands of hours) is represented by the probability density function f(x) = ae^-ax; x greaterthanorequalto 0 Determine (a) mean, (b) mode, (c) median, (d) standard deviation, and (e) skewness coefficient of the life of the heart exchanger. An O-ring used to seal the leakage of fluid in a pressure vessel is subjected to a random pressure X [in k(lb/in^2)] which can be approximated by the distribution. f(x) = {x/10; 0 lessthanorequalto x lessthanorequalto 2 10-x/40; 2 lessthanorequalto x lessthanorequalto 10

Explanation / Answer

mean = 1.2
std. dev. = 0.02

Crankshafts will be discarded if they are below 1.18 in or above 1.22 in specification. This means we need to find out the probabilities where diameter of crankshafts goes beyond this specified range.

P(X<1.18) + P(X>1.22)
= P(z<(1.18-1.2)/0.005) + P(z<(1.22-1.2)/0.005)
= P(z<-4) + P(z>4)
= 0.0 + 0.0
=0.0

Hence 0% of total crankshafts will be discarded.
