Flag question: Question 5

A critical part has a manufacturing specification (in cm) of 0.325 0.010. Based on this information, if this measurement is larger than 0.335 or smaller than 0.315, the product fails at a cost of $120. Determine the Taguchi loss function in the given scenario.

Group of answer choices

L(x) = 1,200,000 (x- 0.325) ²

L(x) = 1,200 (x- 0.315) ²

L(x) = 1,200 (x- 0.010) ²

L(x) = 1,200,000 (x- 0.335) ²
