A manufacturer of front lights for automobiles tests lamps under a high-humidity, high-temperature environment using intensity and useful life as the responses of interest. The following table shows the performance of 130 lamps: useful life satisfactory unsatisfactory intensity satisfactory 3 unsatisfactory 8 (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected lamp will yield unsatisfactory results under any criteria. (b) The customers for these lamps demand 95% satisfactory results. Can the lamp manufacturer meet this demand?

Explanation / Answer

a) P(Unsatisfactory results under any criteria)

= 1 - P(Result is satisfactory in both criterias)

= 1 - 117/130

= 13/130

= 1/10

= 0.10

b) Assuming satisfactory results occur only when the lamp resulted satisfactory in both intensity and useful life,

P(Satisfactory results) = 117/130 = 0.90

Since the probability of satisfactory results are less than 0.95, it is not meeting the customer's target of having 95% satisfactory results.
