Chapter 3, Problem 22P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The process control chart and its interpretation.
Introduction: Upper control limit generally lies above of central line; whereas, lower control limits lies below of central line. In order of process to be in control, it is required that all sample observations must be lying within its control limits. If any sample observation goes beyond these limits, then there is a requirement of further checking of process.

3.2. The Road King Tire Company in Birmingham wants to moni-
tor the quality of the tires it manufactures. Each day the company
quality-control manager takes a sample of 100 tires, tests them, and
determines the number of defective tires. The results of 20 samples
have been recorded as follows:

In his store, Phillip Johnson, the supplier quality manager for the distribution company, selects a tire at random which was received in the warehouse the prior day. Small imperfections (minor wears in trade, uneven surfaces, etc) are counted. Recent data show an average of six imperfections (nonconformities) in each sample. Using the formulas for a c chart, calculate the control limits and centerline for this situation.
