Management at Webster Chemical Company is concerned as to whether caulking tubes are being properly capped. If a significant proportion of the tubes are not being sealed, Webster is placing its customers in a messy situation. Tubes are packaged in large boxes of 144. Several boxes are inspected, and the following numbers of leaking tubes are found: Sample Tubes Sample Tubes Sample Tubes 1 7 8 7 15 7 2 7 9 8 16 9 3 6 10 7 17 3 4 4 11 1 18 7 5 8 12 8 19 7 6 7 2 9 13 14 1 20 6 7 Total 121 Calculate p-chart three-sigma control limits to assess whether the capping process is in statistical control. The UCLp equals and the LCLp equals (Enter your responses rounded to three decimal places. If your answer for LCLp is negative, enter this value as 0.)
Aspen Plastics produces plastic bottles to customer order. The quality inspector randomly selects four bottles from the bottle machine and measures the outside diameter of the bottle neck, a critical quality dimension that determines whether the bottle cap will fit properly. The dimensions (in.) from the last six samples are Bottle Sample 1 2 3 4 1 0.624 0.586 0.602 0.591 2 0.613 0.599 0.578 0.618 3 0.606 0.585 0.587 0.623 4 0.581 0.623 0.571 0.610 5 0.609 0.610 0.623 0.617 6 0.605 0.573 0.570 0.602 Click the icon to view the table of factors for calculating three-sigma limits for the x-chart and R-chart. Suppose that the specification for the bottle neck diameter is 0.600 ± 0.050 in. and the population standard deviation is 0.014 in. a. What is the process capability index? The Cpk is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
