Practice: A biologist originally marked 40 butterflies in a
park. Over a period of 30 days, butterfly traps caught 200

If
you were a producer which method of pollution control would you
support: government standards or the auction of pollution rights by

A process has an in-control fraction nonconforming of p =
0.02.
a) What sample size would be required for the fraction
nonconforming control chart if it is desired to have a probability
of a least one nonconforming unit in the sample to be at least
0.9?
b) Now assume n = 200. Establish a control chart for the
fraction nonconforming.
How would you explain the significance of the different ways the
hypothalamus and pituitary control the endocrine system? Why is it
necessary to have multiple steps? What does this
accomplish physiologically? Which hormones are involved
in each axis and why
