Alpha Corporation is considering two suppliers

Author:
June 7th, 2024

Alpha Corporation is considering two suppliers to secure the large amounts of steel rods that it uses. Company A produces rods with a mean diameter of 8 mm and a standard deviation of 0.15 mm and sells 10,000 rods for $400. Company B produces rods with a mean diameter of 8 mm and a standard deviation of 0.12 mm and sells 10,000 rods for $460. A rod is usable only if its diameter is between 7.8 mm and 8.2 mm. Assume that the diameters of the rods produced by each company have a normal distribution. Which of the two companies should Alpha Corporation use as a supplier? Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.

Thank you for following the guidelines of discussion. Awesome! Hopefully the grade will be better than the first 2 discussions submitted. I was fearful when I received an email requesting to send a copy of the book. Please remember that I confirmed whether or not you all had access to the book before I submitted my first request for assistance.

The support team was available upon request. For the past two semesters I have been stressing on receiving my assignments on expected achievement dates. I value your service and hope that you all would improve your teamwork. I have been using this service now for 2-years and was totally satisfied. With this being said, I have spent at least a thousand plus dollars with this company. Knowing there are other competing companies that are on the market for a lot less than you guys are charging. "I trust that you all would get it together and avoid last minute communication which increases stress to the student."
