A film processing service monitors the quality of the developing process with light-sensitive equipment. The accuracy measure is a number with a target value of zero. Suppose that an X- chart with subgroups of size five is used to monitor the process and the control limits are UCL = 1.5 and LCL = -1.5. Assume that the estimate for the process mean is zero and for the process standard deviation is 1.30.a. What is the value of α for this control chart?b. Find the UCL and LCL based on three-sigma limits.c. Suppose that the process mean shifts to 1. What is the probability that the shift is detected on the first subgroup after the shift occurs?
A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 27 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 44 ounces. What is the probability of filling a cup between 21 and 31 ounces? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Scenario 38-5. Researchers are interested in the height of the average person in San Francisco, California. Using a random sample of 1,000 people, they find that the average height in the sample is 68 inches. (Hint: Be sure to calculate the Refer to Scenario 38-5. If the standard deviation of heights is 3 inches, we can be 95% confident that the true mean height of the population is between standard error of the estimate.) O O O O between 67.997 inches and 68.003 inches. between 67.905 inches and 68.095 inches. between 67.905 inches and 68 inches. between 68 inches and 68.095 inches.
A bakery has determined that the number of loaves of its white bread demanded daily has a normal distribution with mean 7,200 loaves and standard deviation 300 loaves. Based on cost considerations, the company has decided that its best strategy is to produce a sufficient number of loaves so that it will fully supply demand on 94% of all days. a. How many loaves of bread should the company produce? b. Based on the production in part (a), on what percentage of days will the company be left with more than 500 loaves of unsold bread?
There is a normal distribution with mean 10 and standard deviation of 8. What is the z-score of an observation equaling 15?
A magazine conducts an annual survey in which readers rate their favorite cruise ship. All ships are rated on a 100-point scale, with higher values indicating better service. A sample of 33 ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers resulted in an average rating of 85.59, and a sample of 44 ships that carry 500 or more passengers provided an average rating of 81.40. Assume that the population standard deviation is 4.55 for ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers and 3.97 for ships that carry 500 or more passengers. A) What is the point estimate of the difference between the population mean rating for ships that carry fewer than 500 passengers and the population mean rating for ships that carry 500 or more passengers? (Use smaller cruise ships − larger cruise ships.) (b) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) What is a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean ratings for the two sizes of…
The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 3939 grams and a standard deviation of 555 grams. If a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, find the probability that the weight will be less than 4771 grams. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Given a sample with a mean of 151 and a standard deviation of 27, find the probability that a randomly selected value from the sample will be less than 187.0. Round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 0.194. Pr(X < 187.0)
Question 3 Saved 4) Listen A customer service team receives an average of 376 emails every day. Assume that the standard deviation for the number of emails is 96 emails. A random sample of 40 days was selected. a. What is the expected value of the sample mean? b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 2.12). c. What is the probability that the average number of emails received was between 360 and 372? Round your answer to two decimal places with a leading zero (e.g. 0.18).
