A process is monitored for defective items by periodically taking a sample of 100 items and counting the number that are defective. In the last 50 samples, there were a total of 622 defective items. Is this enough information to compute the 3σ control limits for a p chart? If so, compute the limits. If not, state what additional information would be required.
