Chapter 3.3, Problem 28E
Refer to Exercise 3.3. If the cost of testing a component is $2 and the cost of repairing a defective is $4, find the expected total cost for testing and repairing the lot.
3.3 A group of four components is known to contain two defectives. An inspector tests the components one at a time until the two defectives are located. Once she locates the two defectives, she stops testing, but the second defective is tested to ensure accuracy. Let Y denote the number of the test on which the second defective is found. Find the
