Bolts installed on a production line are tightened with automatic wrenches. They are to be tightened sufficiently to yield the full cross-section in order to produce the highest possible initial tension. The limiting condition is twisting off the bolt head during assembly. The bolts have a mean twisting off torque of 20 Nm with a standard deviation of 1 Nm. The automatic wrenches have a standard deviation of 1.5Nm. What mean value of torque wrench setting would result in only 1 in 500 twisting off during assembly? Give a rough estimate only.
A unit has a constant failure rate of 0.3% per 1000 hours. What is its MTBF? What are the probabilities of the unit successfully completing missions of 10000, 100000 and 1000000 hours? Give a rough estimate only.
Test tube level indicator length is the quality characteristic of interest. 28 samples with sample size of 4 each, are chosen from the process. The data yields an average length of 11 cm and process standard deviation of 4 cm. What is the probability of having the length between 9 and 12 cm?
