A service process has three serial stages. The defect percentage at stage one is 7%. The defect percentage at stage two is 13%. And, the defect percentage at stage three is 15%. Use 5 decimals for probabilities and 2 decimals for sigma levels in the following situations.

a. Situation A: the connection logic of the three stages is that a good overall outcome only happens if all three stages individually have good outcomes. Draw the event tree for this situation. Calculate the probability of defective overall outcomes and the probability of good overall outcomes. Using Excel, calculate the corresponding sigma level and make a statement.
b. Situation B: the connection logic of the three stages is that a good overall outcome happens when at least one stage has good outcome. Draw the event tree for this situation. Calculate the probability of defective overall outcomes and the probability of good overall outcomes. Calculate the corresponding sigma level and make a statement.
c. Situation C: the connection logic of the three stages is that a good overall outcome happens when at least two stages individually have good outcomes. Draw the event tree for this situation. Calculate the probability of defective overall outcomes and the probability of good overall outcomes. Calculate the corresponding sigma level and make a statement.
d. Give some possible real‐life processes for the three situations above.

Emery pharmaceutical uses an unstable chemical compound that must be kept in an environment where both temperature and humidity can be controlled. emery uses 825 pounds per month of the chemical, estimates the holding cost to be 50% of the purchase price (because of spoilage), and estimates order costs to be $48 per order. the cost schedules of two suppliers are as follows: vendor 1 vendor 2 quantity price/lb quantity price/lb 1-499 $17 1-399 $17.10 500-999 $16.75 400-799 $16.85 1000+ $16.50 800-1199 $16.60 1200+ $16.25 (a) what is the economic order quantity for each supplier? (b) what quantity should be ordered and which supplier should be used? (c) the total cost for the most economic order sire is $
