The standard devia-tion in the weight of a bowling ball produced at the factory is known to be 0.12 pounds.

- Quality Control of Doughnuts: The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels stating that there are 12 doughnuts weighing a total of 42 oz. If the variation among the doughnuts is too large, some boxes will be underweight (cheating consumers) and others will be overweight (lowering profit). A consumer would not be happy with a doughnut so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope, nor would a consumer be happy with a doughnut so large that it resembles a tractor tire. The quality-control supervisor has found that he can stay out of trouble if the doughnuts have a mean of 3.50 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.06 oz. or less. Twelve doughnuts are randomly selected from the production line and weighed, with the result given here (in ounces). 3.43 3.37 3.58 3.50 3.68 3.61 3.42 3.52 3.66 3.50 3.36 3.42 Construct a 95% confidence interval for σ, and then determine whether the quality-control…arrow_forwardDescribe a situation where a control chart is the right tool for quality conformance.
