A carpenter is making doors that are 2058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 13 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2043 millimeters with a variance of 1024. Is there evidence at the 0.025 level that the doors are too short and unusable?

In a process of filling soda bottles 8% of the total is not completely filled, a potential buyer of the product decides to reject a large purchase batch yes to section a sample of 225 bottles the percentage of bottles that are not completely filled is greater than 7% with a probability greater than 85%
a) Under these conditions will they buy the lot? justify the answer
b) What is the minimum sample size so that the lot is not bought?

His boss tells him to increasethe process capability index of their main product. John is somewhat lazy and does notwant to tackle the variation in the process, so he decides to simply increase the upperspecification limit and reduce the lower specification limit. Does this increase the process capability index?a. No, it does not, because the variation in the process stays unchanged.b. Yes, it does, though one might question if the underlying process is really better.c. That depends on many other variables, including the control limits.d. No, the process capability index would only change if the control limits were changed.arrow_forward
