- You work for Raider Data Systems where thousands of insurance records are entered by clerks each day for a variety of client firms. You are in charge of setting control limits to include 99.73% of the random variation in the data entry process when it is in control. Samples that you collected from 20 employees are shown below. You carefully examine 100 records entered by each employee and count the number of errors entered by each clerk. You also compute the proportion defective in each sample. Using a p-chart, what are the upper and lower control limits? Sample Errors Made Proportion Defective 1 4 0.04 2 5 0.05 3 6 0.06 4 3 0.03 5 8 0.08arrow_forwardSpecifications for a metal shaft are much wider than the machine used to make the shafts is capableof. Consequently, the decision has been made to allow the cutting tool to wear a certain amountbefore replacement. The tool wears at the rate of .004 centimeter per piece. The process has a naturalvariation, σ, of .02 centimeter and is normally distributed. Specifications are 15.0 to 15.2 centimeters.A three-sigma cushion is set at each end to minimize the risk of output outside of the specifications.How many shafts can the process turn out before tool replacement becomes necessary?arrow_forwardWhen grouping a large sample of measurements into classes, the ______________ is a better tool than the ___________. histogram, stem-and-leaf display box plot, histogram stem-and-leaf display, scatter plot scatter plot, box plotarrow_forward
- (CO 3) The soup produced by a company has a salt level that is normally distributed with a mean of 5.4 grams and a standard deviation of 0.3 grams. The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 5.8, 5.9, 4.9, 5.2, 5.0, 4.9, 6.2, 5.1, 6.7, 6.1. Is the process in control or out of control and why? Group of answer choices It is out of control as one of these data points is more than 3 standard deviations from the mean It is in control as the data points more than 2 standard deviations from the mean are far apart It is in control as the values jump above and below the mean It is out of control as two of these data points are more than 2 standard deviations from the meanarrow_forward. Inspection results of video-of-the-month shipments to customers for 25 consecutive days are given in the following table. What central line and control limits should be established and posted if it is assumed that any out of-control points have assignable causes?

This device is specified as 201.0 + 10.0. In the production of this device, subgroups of six units are taken at periodic intervals and tested. Xbar and R are calculated for each subgroup and used to plot control charts. The results of inspection of 25 subgroups, ΣX = 5,000.00 and ΣR = 277.00. Determine the control limits for Xbarand R charts, and estimate the value of σ.arrow_forward
