SCENARIO ANALYSIS –
COMPUTER CHIPS
SNHU – QSO 510
K. Elizabeth Davis
P a g e | 1
A manufacturer of computer chips has a computer hardware company as its largest customer. The computer hardware company requires all of its chips to meet specifications of 1.2 cm. The vice-president of manufacturing, concerned about a possible loss of sales, assigns
his production manager the task of ensuring that chips are produced to meet the specification of 1.2 cm. Based on the production run from last month, a 95% confidence interval was computed for the mean length of a computer chip resulting in:
95% confidence interval: (0.9 cm, 1.1 cm)
The elements the production manager should consider in determining his company’s ability to produce chips that meet specifications includes what the confidence interval is, the population mean, and what the population standard deviation is. The production manager should consider these three actions because the “confidence intervals provide us with an upper
and lower limit around our sample mean, and within this interval we can then be confident we
have captured the population mean” (UserTesting, 2023), the population mean tells us the mean or average found in a population, and the population standard deviation tells us about the variability in the data.
From our data, a 95% confidence interval was calculated from 0.9 to 1.1 cm and this tells us that 95% of the samples collected fall within the 0.9 and 1.1 cm range and is the mean.
Although 0.9-1.1cm is the mean and range for what 95% of chips specifications fall within, there will be about 5% of outliers that do not fall within this range. This all tells us that the chips are not meeting the desired specifications of 1.2 cm.
To justify that the production team is not meeting specifications to the vice-president, the production manager should explain that the production team is not meeting specifications

temperature range for making the cookies is 350 plus or minus 10 degrees, what is the allowable standard deviation in the
temperature of her oven in order to achieve a Six Sigma level of quality?

At an Oxford grocery store, the manager Jenny Produce buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. In her focus on quality, each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week Jenny can buy fresh lettuce for $10.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $22.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 270 boxes with a standard deviation of 44 boxes.
How many boxes of lettuce should Jenny purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Q7. A rigid vessel having a volume of 0.05 m³ initially contains carbon dioxide gas at
temperature 25°C and pressure p. Ethylene gas is allowed to flow into the tank until a mixture
consisting of 20% carbon dioxide and 80% ethylene (molar basis) exits within the tank at a
temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 100 bar. Determine the pressure p, in bar, using Kay's
rule together with the generalized compressibility chart.

Justify each of the following (explanatory diagrams, characteristics or related formulas should be included when it is required):
1. An alternator with cylindrical rotor type is used with steam turbine or gas turbine, while salient-pole rotor type is used in hydro power plants.
2. Pilot exciter is often used to excite the filed circuit of a synchronous generator.
3. Using O.C.C and S.C.C is not an accurate method for determining synchronous impedance for a given load.
4. Armature reaction is being wholly magnetizing when a pure capacitive load is connected to the terminals of a synchronous generator.
5. When an alternator connected to the power system is subjected to a disturbance (three-phase faults or suden ludes are ges), instantaneous 3-phase short chance (three-phaseth very high amplitudes are resulted in the phases which disturb the power system stability
