There is a 2 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $10 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 48 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $11 per defective unit to correct the defects later on.
Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i. e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not.
a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Inspection cost per unit $
b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Defective cost per unit $
c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone?

For a family dinner, jose’s mom baked a loaf of bread. during the meal, his grandmother commented, “this bread is so dense! ” what do you think his grandmother meant by the word dense? you have some ideas regarding density already, but this experiment will enrich your understanding of the relationship between mass, volume and the density of objects. when making measurements in this experiment we will be using si units, the international system of units. the purpose of using si units is to have the ability to communicate and compare data results with other experiments without having to make conversions. measurement symbol si unit length m meter mass kg kilogram volume l liters density kg/l kilograms per liter any calculations that are performed during this experiment will ultimately be reported in scientific notation. recall that scientific notation is extremely important when we have data that is extremely small or large. scientists rely on a standard form of communication to quickly make hypotheses and judgements based on data. what is the density of block a? a0kg/l what is the density of block b? a1kg/l what is the density of block c? a2kg/l what is the density of block d? a3kg/l what is the density of block e? a4kg/l which block is the densest? a5
