Chapter 6.S, Problem 7DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The consequences of the fact that a person using 2-sigma control charts find more samples “out of bounds” than 3-sigma control charts.
Introduction: Control charts used to determine whether the process is under control or not. Attributes and variables are the factors under the control charts.
