Abstract
The effect of unreliable machines on the probability distribution of the number of acceptable items produced is discussed. Such a distribution is shown to depend on two other distributions, namely, the distribution of the number of items actually produced and the distribution associated with the probability of an item´s satisfying some performance criterion. Relations governing the moments of the distributions are given.
