Function 1 has a development size of 10 KS. In process A, 6 ÷ 10 = 0.60 defects/KS, within the range (no problem); in process B as well, 3 ÷ 10 = 0.30 defects/KS, within the range (no problem). Since process B has no problem, it does not satisfy the condition «a problem in process B», so it is wrong.

Function 2 has a development size of 20 KS. In process A, 14 ÷ 20 = 0.70 defects/KS, which exceeds the upper limit of 0.65, so there is already a problem at process A. This violates the condition «no problem in process A», so it is wrong.
×Incorrectウ
Function 3 has a development size of 50 KS. In process A, 10 ÷ 50 = 0.20 defects/KS, which is below the lower limit of 0.25, so process A has a problem (process B is 40 ÷ 50 = 0.80, also a problem, but process A is out of range to begin with). This violates the condition «no problem in process A», so it is wrong.

正解The correct answer is エ (Function 4). Defect density = number of defects ÷ development size (KS); the judgment range is a lower limit of 0.25 to an upper limit of 0.65 defects/KS, and falling outside this range is judged as «having a problem». Function 4 has a development size of 80 KS. In process A, 32 ÷ 80 = 0.40 defects/KS, which is within the range, so there is no problem; in process B, 8 ÷ 80 = 0.10 defects/KS, which is below the lower limit of 0.25, so there is a problem. Therefore, the only function that satisfies the condition «no problem in process A and a problem in process B» is Function 4, so エ is correct.
ここがポイント
Defect density = number of defects ÷ development size (KS). Calculate it for each process separately; if it falls within the set lower-to-upper limit range it is judged «no problem», and if it falls outside the range it is judged «having a problem».
«Falling outside the range» is a two-sided judgment that includes not only being below the lower limit but also exceeding the upper limit. Note that this question asks you to choose the function whose process A is within the range and whose process B is outside the range.
