Chapter 1, Problem 3SE
The specification for the pull strength of a wire that connects an integrated circuit to its frame is 10 g or more. Units made with aluminum wire have a defect rate of 10%. A redesigned manufacturing process, involving the use of gold wire, is being investigated. The goal is to reduce the rate of defects to 5% or less. Out of the first 100 units manufactured with gold wire, only 4 are defective. True or false:
- a. Since only 4% of the 100 units were defective, we can conclude that the goal has been reached.
- b. Although the sample percentage is under 5%, this may represent sampling variation, so the goal may not yet be reached.
- c. There is no use in testing the new process, because no matter what the result is, it could just be due to sampling variation.
- d. If we sample a large enough number of units, and if the percentage of defective units is far enough below 5%, then it is reasonable to conclude that the goal has been reached.

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
