Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Hourly cost of operating the system is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.

b

Arana is a company that produces homemade Rotini pasta. They use statistical process control to monitor the manufacturing process. The company collects five samples, each containing six packs of pasta. Below is the sample data, but the standard deviation of the process output is unknown. If an R chart is created using three-sigma limits (i.e., z = 3) to monitor the variability of products, what would be the upper control limit for this R chart?

A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± 0.04 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.003 inches with a standard deviation of 0.020 inch. Calculate the process capability index.
Using samples of 197 credit card statements, an auditor found the following: Sample 1   3 errors Sample 2   3 errors Sample 3   5 errors Sample 4    9 errors 1. what alpha risk would control limits of .0470 and .0038 provide? 2. Using control limits of .0470 and .0038, is the process in control? 3. Construct a control chart for the process, assuming a fraction defective of 2 percent, using two-sigma control limits.  Is the process in control?
