Need Help on a question from Oliver

A project manager needs a certain number of identical valve housings for a power station project.
He starts with 100 raw items which are made as metal castings. Out of this batch, 15 are found leaking from micro-porosities in a subsequent pressure test. 6 of these housings can be recovered by a special sealing process for raw castings.


The 91 housings are then being machined. After this process step 10 machined castings are found leaking. 3 of these items can also be saved using another sealing process for machined castings.


The remaining 84 housings are getting mounted to the power plant pipe work. During a pressure test after this process step it is found that 12 valves are leaking. Out of these a number of 6 valves can be saved by replacing the sealing rings used.


Finally the project manager has 78 valves which he can use. What is true?


  RTY = 0.84
  RTY = 0.78
  RTY = 0.91
  RTY = 0.65
 


Ans: 0.65


If someone could please explain this.


Thanks

When i read this question, even i was confused and i am hearing this term RTY first time. i did some research and found this good link which explains with example like how to calculate RTY. See if this helps in this question.

Without sounding condescending, do these type of questions even feature on the exam?? None of Rita's or even some of the other simulators have these sort of content...

I am not sure if we should spend time on such qs..but I did a couple of weeks back...

FTY(First time yield): probability of passing first time through the process without rework

RTY (rolling throughput yield) = FTY1 * FTY2 and so on...

Rolled Throughput yield = (85/100)*(81/91)*(72/84) 

 

Thanks
