Answer:
The estimated loss is $5,400 if the value of the quality characteristic,x is 85.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Target value,T = 82
Cost coefficient, k = $6,000
x = 85
The Taguchi Quality Loss Function (QLF) is given by:
[tex]L(x) = k(x -T)^2[/tex]
where L(x) is the loss, k is the cost coefficient, T is the target value or the mean value.
We have to estimate the loss if the value of the quality characteristic is 85.
We put x = 85
[tex]L(85) = 6000(85 -82)^2\\L(85) =54000[/tex]
Thus, the estimated loss is $5,400 if the value of the quality characteristic,x is 85.
