Zorluk: ZorWeighted Average and Combined Sets

At a semiconductor manufacturing facility, silicon wafers are produced across three consecutive shifts: Shift X, Shift Y, and Shift Z. The ratio of the number of wafers produced in Shift X to Shift Y is 3:23 : 2, and the ratio of the number of wafers produced in Shift Y to Shift Z is 4:54 : 5. The defect rate of wafers produced in Shift X is 2.0%2.0\%, and the defect rate of wafers produced in Shift Y is 3.5%3.5\%. If the combined defect rate for all wafers produced across the three shifts is 3.0%3.0\%, what is the defect rate, expressed as a percentage, of the wafers produced in Shift Z?

Cevap: 3.8 %

Cevap

The defect rate of the wafers produced in Shift Z is 3.8%.
To find the defect rate of Shift Z, first determine the combined ratio of wafer production for Shift X, Shift Y, and Shift Z. Given Shift X : Shift Y = 3 : 2 and Shift Y : Shift Z = 4 : 5, scale Shift X : Shift Y to 6 : 4 so that Shift Y has the same ratio value in both expressions. The unified ratio is Shift X : Shift Y : Shift Z = 6 : 4 : 5, representing 15 total parts. Applying the weighted average formula gives (6 * 2.0% + 4 * 3.5% + 5 * r_Z) / 15 = 3.0%. Multiplying both sides by 15 yields 12.0 + 14.0 + 5 * r_Z = 45.0, which simplifies to 5 * r_Z = 19.0. Dividing by 5 gives r_Z = 3.8%.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the combined ratio of production volumes across Shift X, Shift Y, and Shift Z.
Shift X : Shift Y = 3 : 2 = 6 : 4, and Shift Y : Shift Z = 4 : 5. Therefore, Shift X : Shift Y : Shift Z = 6 : 4 : 5.
Combining the separate ratios into a single compound ratio establishes the weighting factor for each shift.
2
Calculate the total parts and weight of each shift.
Total parts = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 parts.
The weight of each shift in the weighted average corresponds to its share of the total 15 parts.
3
Formulate the weighted average equation for the overall defect rate.
(6 * 2.0 + 4 * 3.5 + 5 * r_Z) / 15 = 3.0
The overall combined defect rate is the weighted sum of individual defect rates divided by the total number of parts.
4
Solve for the unknown defect rate r_Z of Shift Z.
12.0 + 14.0 + 5 * r_Z = 45.0 => 26.0 + 5 * r_Z = 45.0 => 5 * r_Z = 19.0 => r_Z = 3.8
Algebraic simplification yields the exact defect rate for Shift Z.
