Chapter 36, Problem 33QTP
Assume that in Example 36.3 the number of samples was 8 instead of 10. Using the top half of the data in Table 36.3, recalculate the control limits and the standard deviation. Compare your observations with the results obtained by using 10 samples.

Suppose you have conducted 25 measurements of a random variable (Temperature) and obtained the following data in Table 2 below:
Calculate the sample mean temperature, standard deviation, and standard deviation of the means of these temperature measurements.
Estimate 95% confidence interval for true mean temperature.
Determine the range within which the true mean temperature exists at a 95% confidence level based on this finite dataset
A random sample of 83 reconstructed clay vessels from the Turquoise Ridge archaeological site indicated the standard deviation of
diameters to be approximately 5.5 cm. How many more such clay vessels must be found and reconstructed to be 95% sure that the
sample mean of diameters is within 1 cm of the population mean of all such reconstructed clay vessels at this archaeological site?
A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?
