- At Quick Car Wash, the wash process is advertised to take less than 6 minutes. Consequently, management has set a target average of 330 seconds for the wash process. Suppose the average range for a sample of 7 cars is 10 seconds. Use the accompanying table to establish control limits for sample means and ranges for the car wash process. Click the icon to view the table of factors for calculating three-sigma limits for the x-chart and R-chart. The UCLR equals seconds and the LCLR equals seconds.

And with a probability of 0.52 and a 0.48 probability of 65,000 at $550. we However, he uses his value analysis team (option b), the firm expects sales of 75,000 units at $770, with a probability of 0.78 and a 0.22 probability of 65,000 units at $770. Value engineering, at a cost of $100,000, is only used in option b. Which option for this has the highest expected monetary value (EMV)? The EMV for option a is $? The EMV for option b is $?

- Management at Webster Chemical Company is concerned as to whether caulking tubes are being properly capped. If a significant proportion of the tubes are not being sealed, Webster is placing its customers in a messy situation. Tubes are packaged in large boxes of 144.
