Problem 13-9

Resistors for electronic circuits are manufactured on a high-speed automated machine. The machine is set up to produce a large run of resistors of 1,000 ohms each. Use Exhibit 10.13.

To set up the machine and to create a control chart to be used throughout the run, 15 samples were taken with four resistors in each sample. The complete list of samples and their measured values are as follows: Use three-sigma control limits.

a. Calculate the mean and range for the above samples. (Round "Mean" to 2 decimal places and "Range" to the nearest whole number.)

b. Determine X=X= and R−R− . (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

c. Determine the UCL and LCL for a X−X− chart. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

d. Determine the UCL and LCL for R-chart. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
