Thirty patients who check out of the Rock Creek County
Regional Hospital each week are asked to complete a ques-tionnaire about hospital service. Since patients do not feel
well when they are in the hospital, they typically are very
critical of the service. The number of patients who indi-cated dissatisfaction of any kind with the service for each
30-patient sample for a 16-week period is as follows:Construct a control chart to monitor customer satisfactionat the hospital using 3 limits and determine if the processis in control.
Houston North Hospital is trying to improve its image by providing a positive experience for its patients and their relatives. Part of the "image" program involves providing tasty, inviting patient meals that are also healthful. A questionnaire accompanies each meal served, asking the patient, among other things, whether he or she is satisfied or unsatisfied with the meal. A
50-patient sample of the survey results over the past 7 days yielded the following data:

- 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.

Choudhury’s bowling ball factory in Illinois makes bowling balls of adult size and weight only. The standard devia-tion in the weight of a bowling ball produced at the factory is known to be 0.12 pounds. Each day for 24 days, the averageweight, in pounds, of nine of the bowling balls produced that dayhas been assessed as follows: a) Establish a control chart for monitoring the average weights of the bowling balls in which the upper and lower control lim-its are each two standard deviations from the mean. What are the values of the control limits?b) If three standard deviations are used in the chart, how do thesevalues change? Why?arrow_forwardThe production manager at Sunny Soda, Inc., is interested in tracking the quality of the company’s 12-ounce bottle filling line. The bottles must be filled within the tolerances set for this product because the dietary information on the label shows 12 ounces as the serving size.
