Problem 8 (15%). The specifications on an electronic component in a target-acquisition system are that its life must be between 5,000 and 10,000 hours. The life is normally distributed with mean 7,500 hours. The manufacturer realizes a price of $10 per unit produced; however, defective unit must be replaced at a cost of $5 to the manufacturer. Two different manufacturing processes can be used, both of which have the same mean life. However, the standard deviation of life for process 1 is 1000 hours, whereas for process 2 are twice those for process 1. What value for production costs will determine the selection between processes 1 and 2? Please show your steps.
