(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sample means and ranges, and whether this process is in control by using table 10.3. and mean and range charts when the time to replace vehicle wiper blades at a service center was monitored where 6 samples of n = 20 observations were collected.

Introduction: To monitor the process dispersion, range control charts are used and the mean control limit charts are based on a normal distribution.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The sample means and ranges, and whether this process is in control by using table 10.3 according to the given table of b when the n is 15.

Introduction: To monitor the process dispersion, range control charts are used and the mean control limit charts are based on a normal distribution.

Checkout time at a supermarket is monitored using a mean and a range chart. Six samples of n = 20 observations have been obtained and the sample means and ranges computed: Sample Mean Range 1 3.06  .42 2 3.15  .50 3 3.11  .41 4 3.13  .46 5 3.06  .46 6 3.09  .45   Using the factors in Table 10.3 , determine upper and lower limits for mean and range charts.  Is the process in control?

Webster Chemical Company produces mastics and caulkingfor the construction industry. The product is blended inlarge mixers and then pumped into tubes and capped.Management is concerned about whether the filling processfor tubes of caulking is in statistical control. The processshould be centered on 8 ounces per tube. Several samplesof eight tubes were taken, each tube was weighed, and theweights in Table 3.3 were obtained. a. Assume that only six samples are sufficient and developthe control charts for the mean and the range.b. Plot the observations on the control chart and commenton your findings.
