Textbook Question

Chapter 19, Problem 17SE

Product filling weights are normally distributed with a mean of 350 grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams.

a. Develop the control limits for the x chart for samples of size 10, 20, and 30.
b. What happens to the control limits as the sample size is increased?
c. What happens when a Type I error is made?
d. What happens when a Type II error is made?
e. What is the probability of a Type I error for samples of size 10, 20, and 30?
f. What is the advantage of increasing the sample size for control chart purposes? What error probability is reduced as the sample size is increased?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
