In the past, the defective rate for your product hasbeen 1.5%. What arc the upper and lower control chart limits ifyou wish to use a sample size of 500 and = = 3?
Five data entry operators work at the data process-ing department of the Birmingham Bank. Each day for 30 days,
the number of defective records in a sample of 250 records typedby these operators has been noted, as follows:
a) Establish 3s upper and lower control limits.b) Why can the lower control limit not be a negative number?
c) The industry standards for the upper and lower control lim-its are 0.10 and 0.01, respectively. What does this imply about
Birmingham Bank’s own standards?
Control charts for X-bar and R are maintained for the tensile strength of fibers used in composite materials.
The specifications are 440+40. After 25 samples of size n=10 are analyzed, we find that:
