A sample of silty clay was found by immersion in mercury to have a volume of 17.87 mm, while its mass at natural moisture content was 30 g and the particle specific gravity was 2.7. Calculate the void ratio, e, and degree of saturation, S, if, after oven-drying, the sample had a mass of 25.9 g.

The manufacturer bakery had provided us with their specification limit, which was 145 g -155 g. Out of the 50 biscuit packets, it was observed that 5% weighed between 145.5 g and 146 g while 2% of the packets weighed between 153.95 g and 154.5 g. Which of the following groups can be categorised as bad quality? The 5% of the sample that weighed between 145.5 g and 146 g. The 2% of the sample that weighed between 153.95g and 154.5g. Both of the groups. None of the above.

Problem 1: Auto pistons at Wemming Chung’s plant in Shanghai are produced in a forging process, and the diameter is a critical factor that must be controlled. From sample sizes of 10 pistons produced each day, the mean and the range of this diameter have been as follows: Day Mean (mm) Range (mm) 1 156.9 4.2 2 153.2 4.6 3 153.6 4.1 4 155.5 5.0 5 156.6 4.5 a) What are the UCL x (line on top of x, counldn't find the button to do it) and LCL x (line on top of x) , using 3σ?

Jim's Outfitters, Inc., makes custom western shirts. The shirts could be flawed in various ways, including flaws in the weave or color of the fabric, loose buttons or decorations, wrong dimensions, and uneven stitches. Jim randomly examined 10 shirts, with the following results shows below. Shirt 1 23456 ∞ 7 8 9 10 Defects 10 05 10 4 9 1 4 5 4 a. Assuming that 10 oberservation are adequate for these purpose, determine the three-sigma control limits for defects per shirt. (what are the UCLC and LCLC) b. Suppose that the next shirt has 12 flaws. What can you say abou the process now?
Question 2: The account receivable department of R&W Company has received complaints from manycustomers about incorrect billing, i.e., the bills do not reflect the materials that arrived at their receivingdocks. The department has decided to implement statistical process control in its billing process.
