a. Determine the fraction defective in each sample. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
b. If the true fraction defective for this process is unknown, what is your estimate of it? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
c. What is your estimate of the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of fractions defective for samples of this size? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 4 decimal places.)
d. What control limits would give an alpha risk of .03 for this process? (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places. Round your "z" value to 2 decimal places and other answers to 4 decimal places.)
e. What alpha risk would control limits of .0470 and .0092 provide? (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal…

The commercial claims that the miracle shake will provide guaranteed weight loss.
a) Use this data to determine the correlation between time on the diet and weight loss (either the Spearman's Rank Coefficient, or the PPMCC, but state which you are calculating. You are welcome to use a spreadsheet).
b) Does the correlation imply that the miracle shakes cause weight loss? Identify any possible outliers.
