Problem 10-23

Ten samples of 15 parts each were taken from an ongoing process to establish a p-chart for control. The samples and the number of defectives in each are shown in the following table:

SAMPLE	n	NUMBER OF DEFECTIVE ITEMS IN THE SAMPLE
1	15	2
2	15	1
3	15	1
4	15	1
5	15	3
6	15	1
7	15	0
8	15	2
9	15	1
10	15	0

a. Determine the p−p−, S_p, UCL and LCL for a p-chart of 95 percent confidence (1.96 standard deviations). (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)


p−p−
S_p
UCL
LCL

b. What comments can you make about the process?

	Process is out of statistical control
	Process is in statistical control

Expert Solution

Answer a:

Sample	defects	Observations
1	2	15
2	1	15
3	1	15
4	1	15
5	3	15
6	1	15
7	0	15
8	2	15
9	1	15
10	0	15
total	12	150
steps and formulas, for z=		1.96
Average Proportion of defects=P	total defects/total observations	0.0800
Q=	1-P	0.9200
N=	average sample size	15
Standard deviation, Sp	squareroot(P*Q/N)	0.070
UCL=	P + z*Sp	0.217
LCL=	P - z*Sp	-0.057
	defects cannot be negative, therefore negative LCL is taken as '0'	0.000

Answer b": The process is in control: As we can see that NO sample is beyond control limits in charts

Please ask, if you have any doubts through the comment section. Do rate the answer

- Ten samples were taken from the normally distributed population with a variance of 64. Test whether the data are sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 45 at a 10 per cent significance level, as follows (58, 62, 45, 50, 59, 65, 39, 40, 41, 52). 1. Set a hypothesis 2. Ask for rejection region. 3. Obtain the Test Statistics 4. Find a p-value.

Five samples of size 4 were taken from a process. A range chart was developed that had LCLr = 0 and UCLr = 2.50. Similarly, an average chart was developed with the average range from the five samples, with LCLx = 15.0 and UCLX = 24.0. The ranges for each of the five samples were 1.75, 2.42, 2.75, 2.04, and 2.80, respectively. The values of the sample average for each sample were 19.5, 22.3, 17.4, 20.1, and 18.9, respectively.
