What is the Taguchi constant for a device that costs $250 to repair and a tolerance of plus or minus 2 mm with a mean squared deviation from the target of 0.2?
A) 2.5
B) 62.5
C) 2625
D) 2500
E) 6250

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Taguchi constant (k) is calculated using the formula k = C / Δ^2, where C is the cost to repair and Δ is the tolerance. Here, C = $250 and Δ = 2 mm, so k = 250 / (2^2) = 250 / 4 = 62.5.
