Question 65

Essay

A machine produces an average of 500 parts per day with a standard deviation of 10 parts. This is a normally distributed variable. The percent of defective parts ranges from 8-12%. Parts which need minor repair comprise 75% of the defective parts and cost $5 to repair. The rest of the defective parts cost $20 to repair. What formulas should go in cells B8:B15 to compute the daily cost of defective parts?
