Problem 8. Suppose you are QC inspector for the Lucky Coin® company, who make specialized
coins for flipping. Their main product is a coin that is supposed to come up heads 75% of the
time. However, the machinery occasionally malfunctions without warning, producing a coin with
probability of heads only 50%. To attempt to sort out the good coins from the defective ones, you
implement the following QC policy: flip each coin five times and discard it if it doesn't come up
heads at least three times (otherwise pass it).
a) What is the probability of discarding good coins?
b) What is the probability of passing defective coins?
c) If your process is known to produce 20% defective coins, what fraction of coins that were
discarded are actually good?
d) If your costs are $5 for each defective coin passed and $2 for each good coin discarded, what
is the cost of this QC policy on a per-item-produced basis?
e) Relate the problem here to the discussion of diagnostic testing in the "conditioual probability
examples" notes.
() Find a cheaper QC policy (using the same flip-five-timos test), if there is one. If not, explain
why.
