Question:medium

The bar graph below shows the failure rates, number of failures per thousand units, of different electronic components.
ComponentFailure Rate
Picture Tubes15
Signal Devices16
Capacitors20
Integrated Circuits30
Printed Circuit Boards33
Hybrid Micro Circuits40
For the equipments using Integrated Circuit Board: 400, Capacitors: 240 and Printed Circuits boards: 120 to run with minimum downtime, how many spares should be kept in the store respectively?

Show Hint

Multiply each equipment count by its failure rate per thousand, then round any fraction up.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Per-unit failure fractions: ICB 0.03x400=12; Capacitors 0.02x240=4.8 -> 5; PCB 0.033x120=3.96 -> 4.

Final Answer: 12, 5, 4, option (2).
