Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a…

Chapter 15.4, Problem 19E

a.

To determine

Find the trial control limits for the individual and moving-range charts.

Construct the control chart and plot the data.

Identify whether the process is in statistical control, if the process is out of statistical control, assume that the assignable causes were present and eliminate those samples which are out of control and revise the control limits

b.

To determine

Find the estimate for the process mean and process standard deviation.
