A dryer manufacturer purchases heating elements from three


A dryer manufacturer purchases heating elements from three different suppliers: Argostat, Bermrock, and Thermtek. Thirty percent of the heating elements are supplied by Arostat, 50% by Bermrock, and 20% by Themtek. The elements are mixed in a supply bin prior to inspection and installation. Based on past experience, 10% of the Argostat elements are defective, compared to only 5% of those supplied by Bermrock, and just 4% of those from Thermtek.
