The throughput yields of 5 sub-processes in series to execute in order are: 80%, 82%, 80%, 80%, and 83%, respectively. What is the probability that the order executed through this 5 sub-processes in series is defect free?
  1. 25.15%
  2. 34.85%
  3. 45.15%
  4. 65.85%
Explanation
Answer: B - The probability that the order executed through this 5 sub-processes in series is defect free is 34.85%.
Key Takeaway: To calculate the percent yield of these 5 sub-processes is: YRT = yt1 X yt2 X yt3 X yt4 X yt1. Thus, the calculation is as follows: YRT = 0.80 X 0.82 X 0.80 X 0.80 X 0.83 = 0.3485 = 34.85%.
