Vilfredo Pareto was a famous engineer/economist in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He reportedly expressed this 80/20 Rule: 80% of all progress results from 20% of the actions taken. The Pareto Diagram, also called a Juran Diagram, depicts a variant 80/20 Rule: 80% of all production problems come from 20% of the problem areas.
a. What kind of statistical chart is the Pareto Diagram? ____ (enter H for histogram, P for probability distribution, T for a Taguchi chart, A for all three of these. N for none of these.
b. The value of the Pareto Diagram is its highlighting the areas causing 80% of quality problems. ____ (enter T for true or F for false)
Explain how you can incorporate each of the following components, conceptual understanding, problem solving, and procedural fluency.
Standard and Objective
Estimate and measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools, such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes to the nearest inch, foot, yard, centimeter, and meter.

It is a famous case that many universities use in engineering education. Omar, who is a student of Professor Ahmad's class found a website that contains analysis done by many students of Western University. Omar told his close friends Jameel and Khalid what he found. They selected three different analyses. That means each one got a well- written and ready-made answer. Omar directly copied from what he selected. He did not even indicate the website as a source of reference in his submission. Jameel did not directly copy from the one he selected. He rephrased some of the sentences. He also indicated the website as a source of reference in his submission. Although Khalid studied the sample he selected and some others samples available on that website, he wrote the analysis on his own. He also indicated the website as a source of reference.

- 2. Assume that consumers evaluate new cars on two features: Number of Cupholders (C), and Sexiness of design (S). Chevrolet currently offers the following line-up of models: • Chevy Camaro: C = 2, S = 7 • Chevy Tahoe: C = 6, S = 3 In addition, Chevrolet has the following new models that it could roll out, if necessary: • Chevy Bolt: C = 3, S = 4 • Chevy Corvette: C = 1, S = 9 Chevy Malibu: C = 4, S = 3.5 • Chevy Colorado: C= 2, S= 5 • Chevy Suburban: C = 8, 8 = 1 (a) Some executives at Chevy want to increase the sales of the Camaro by adding exactly one of its new models to the line up. Which car could they add to do so? Why might adding this car help? If there are multiple cars they could add, please answer the questions for each possibility.
