- A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results : Machine #1 measurements [14, 13, 24, 22]; Machine #2 measurements [ 14, 19, 23, 14]; Machine #3 measurements [ 14, 16, 13, 16]. Using the factors for three sigma control limits, what are x-bar chart upper and lower control limits? a. 24.65and 9.013 b. 22.43and 11.24 c. 18.9and 14.76 d. 39.83and -6.167A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results: For upper and lower control limits of 23.29 and 16.71, which machine(s), if any, appear(s) to have an out-of-control process mean?At Webster Chemical Company, lumps in the caulking compound could cause difficulties in dispensing a smooth bead from the tube. Even when the process is in control, an average of four lumps per tube of caulk will remain. Testing for the presence of lumps destroys the product, so an analyst takes random samples. The following results are obtained: Tube No. Lumps Tube No. Lumps Tube No. Lumps 1 6 5 6 9 5 2 5 6 4 10 0 3 0 7 1 11 9 4 4 8 6 12 2 Determine the c-chart two-sigma upper and lower control limits for this process. Is the process in statistical control?
- An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine she operates. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Over a month's time, she collects 30 samples of 75 observations each and records the number of errors. The average proportion defective is found to be 0.024. Which of the following is the standard deviation () of the machine? a. More than 0.5 but less than or equal to 1.0 b. More than 1.0 c. Less than or equal to 0.1 d. More than 0.1 but less than or equal to 0.5An automatic filling machine is used to fill 1-liter bottles of cola.

B) Does the process meet specifications?
- McDaniel Shipyards wants to develop control charts to assess the quality of its steel plate. They take ten sheets of 1" steel plate and compute the number of cosmetic flaws on each roll. Each sheet is 20' by 100'. Based on the following data, develop limits for the control chart, plot the control chart, and determine whether the process is in control. Sheet Number of flaws 1 1 2 1 3 2 4 0 5 1 6 5 7 0 8 2 9 0 10 2A process considered to be in control measures an ingredient in ounces. A quality inspector took 10 samples, each with 5 observations as follows: Using this information, obtain three-sigma (i.e., z=3) control limits for a mean control chart and control limits for a range chart, respectively. It is known from previous experience that the standard deviation of the process is 1.36. Discuss whether the process is in control or not.Using samples of 200 credit card statements, an auditor found the following:Sample 1 2 3 4Number with errors 4 2 5 9a.
