(a)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
To design a p-chart showing upper and lower control limits.
Concept Introduction:
P-charts are used to identify the defective items, from a group of items. It is a form of control chart which is used to analyze the proportion of nonconforming units into a specified sample.
(b)
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:

The IRS is concerned with improving the accuracy of tax information given by its representatives over the telephone. Previous studies involved asking a set of 25 questions of a large number of IRS telephone representatives to determine the proportion of correct responses. Historically, the averageproportion of correct responses has been 72 percent. Recently, IRS representatives have been receiving more training. On April 26, the set of 25 tax questions were again asked of 20 randomly selected IRS telephone representatives. The numbers of correct answers were 18, 16, 19, 21, 20, 16,21, 16, 17, 10, 25, 18, 25, 16, 20, 15, 23, 19, 21, and 19. a. What are the upper and lower control limits for the appropriate p-chart for the IRS? Use z = 3. b. Is the tax information process in statistical control?
A team of undergraduate business students was asked to recommend improvement to the data entry process at the county appraiser’s office. The team identified several types of errors, such as posting an incorrect name or entering an incorrect parcel number. The deed abstractors were asked to keep a record of the errors in data entry that were sent to them. The following table is a frequency distribution of errors:
Defect
Total
Posting error in name
Posting error in parcel
Property sold after tax bills were mailed
Inappropriate call transfer (not part of deeds>mapping)
Posting error in legal description>incompletelegal description
Deeds received after tax bills printed
Correspondence errors
Miscellaneous errors

- Would a data series that contains values grouped into 10 categories be better displayed as a pie chart or a column chart?arrow_forward(c) Based on what we know about Observation B, if the cutoff value is lowered to 0.2, what happens to the values of sensitivity and specificity? Explain. Use the ROC curve to estimate the values of sensitivity and specificity for a cutoff value of 0.2. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. Answer Part C, there are no other parts here. I have the sensitivity already and is equal to 1. What is the specificity??If you are not 100% sure you are right, do not attempt this is frustrating. The cutoff value has changed from 0.5 to 0.2. The sensitivity is 1 which is correct. I need help with the specificity. Sensitivity does not equal 1/14 and specificity does not equal 1/31 so don't answer that and do not answer any other parts just answer part C.arrow_forwardWhy is it important to always pre-test a questionnaire?arrow_forward
- Suppose you want to estimate the proportion of cars that are sport utility vehicles (SUVs) being driven in Kansas City, Missouri, at rush hour by standing on the corner of I-70 and I-470 and counting SUVs. You believe the figure is no higher than 0.40. If you want the error of the confidence interval to be no greater than .03, how many cars should you randomly sample? Use a 90% level of confidence.
