MSTE-001 : INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS – I


Time : 3 hours Maximum Marks : 50
Note :
(i) Question no. 1 is compulsory.
(ii) Attempt any four questions from the remaining
questions no. 2 to 7.
(iii) Use of scientific calculator (non-programmable) is
allowed.
(iv) Use of Formulae and Statistical Tables Booklet for
PGDAST is allowed.
(v) Symbols have their usual meanings.

1. State whether the following statements are True


or False. Give reasons in support of your
answers. 52=10
(a) ‘‘Natural patterns of variation’’ is only a type
of pattern of sample points on the control
chart.

(b) The natural limits are the limits specified by


the producer or set by the management or
the manufacturing engineers.
MSTE-001 1 P.T.O.
(c) Product control is a technique used for
understanding and monitoring the process
by collecting the data on quality
characteristics periodically from the process,
analysing them and taking suitable actions
whenever there is a difference between
actual quality and the specifications.
(d) For the following game :
Player B
B1 B2 B3
A1 5 7 4
Player A A2 4 2 0
A3 6 1 3

The value of the game is 4.


(e) A k-out-of-n system is said to be a
non-redundant system of 1  k < n.
t
–  λ (t) dt
0
2. (a) Prove that R(t) = e
where R(t) = reliability function, and
(t) = rate of failure at time t.
(b) Show that if the hazard rate of a component
is constant, say , then the failure
distribution of the component follows
exponential distribution. Also show that

MTTF = .

(c) Define reliability of a series system and a
parallel system in general. 5+3+2

3. In the following payoff table, the payoff values
represent losses :

State of Courses of Action


Nature A1 A2 A3
N1 1500 1800 2500
N2 2400 1600 2000
N3 1200 2000 3000
N4 800 1000 400
On the basis of this information, identify the
optimum course of action under each of the
following criteria : 10
(a) Optimistic Criterion
(b) Pessimistic Criterion
(c) Hurwitz Criterion (for  = 0·7)
(d) Regret Criterion
(e) Laplace Criterion (assuming that we have no
information that the states of nature N1, N2,
N3, N4 have different probabilities)

4. (a) Solve the game whose payoff matrix is


given below : 7

A4 0 4 0 8

MSTE-001 3 P.T.O.
(b) Differentiate between Accepting sampling
plan and Rectifying sampling plan. 3

5. (a) In a recently started process of producing


containers, their volume is subject to a
quality control. The X and S values for
15 random samples of size 5 are given as
follows :
Sample No. X S
1 62·34 0·05
2 62·29 0·06
3 62·32 0·08

15 62·34 0·04

Construct the suitable control charts and


state whether the process is under control. If
not, compute revised control limits. 8

(b) Differentiate between Single sampling plan
and Double sampling plan. 2

6. (a) A manufacturing process produces a certain


type of bolt of mean diameter 2 inch with a
standard deviation of 0·05 inch. The lower
and upper specification limits of the process
are 1·90 and 2·05 inch. Calculate the
process capability. Does it appear that the
manufacturing process is capable of
meeting the specification requirements ? 2

(b) An automatic machine is used to fill and seal


20 mL tubes of medicine. The process is
sampled in samples of four and the values of
X and R are computed for each sample.
After 25 samples,  X = 525 and  R = 30. If
the specification limits are 20  1·5, what are
the conclusions regarding the ability of the
process to produce medicine tubes
conforming to specifications ? It is given that
d2 = 2·059 for n = 4. 4
(c) A mobile manufacturer inspects 30 mobiles
at the end of the day of production and notes
the number of defective mobiles. This
procedure is continued up to 12 days and
2, 1, 3, 0, 2, 1, 0, 5, 2, 0, 3, 1 defective
mobiles are found. Is the production process
under control with respect to the proportion
defective ? 4

MSTE-001 5 P.T.O.
7. (a) For a sampling plan with n = 5 and c = 0,
find the probability of accepting a lot that
has 2% defective units by assuming that
the number of defective units in a sample
follows the binomial distribution. Further,
if AQL and LTPD are 1% and 5%
respectively, calculate the producer’s risk
and the consumer’s risk for this plan. 5
(b) Suppose a mobile phone company produces
mobile phones in lots of 400 phones each.
To check the quality of the lots, the
quality inspector of the company uses
a double sampling plan with n1 = 15, c1 = 1,
n2 = 30 and c2 = 3. Explain the procedure for
implementing it under acceptance sampling
plan. 5
