Describe a few major principals of passive sampling. Explain advantages and disadvantages of this technique. List some compounds which can be sampled with passive sample

The Precision Machining Company makes hand-held tools on an assembly line that produces one product every minute. On one of the products, the critical quality dimension is the diameter (measured in thousandths of an inch) of a hole bored in one of the assemblies. Management wants to detect any shift in the process average diameter from 0.010 in. Management considers the variance in the process to be in control. Historically, the average range has been 0.002 in., regardless of the process average. Design an x-chart to control this process, with a center line at 0.010 in. and the control limits set at three sigmas from the center line. Management provided the results of 80 minutes of output from the production line, as shown in the table below. During these 80 minutes, the process average changed once. All measurements are in thousandths of an inch. Sample data for Precision Machining Company Diameter (thousandths of an inch) Minutes 1- 12 10 11 13 11 12 10 9. 8 11 12 13 - 24 10 11 12 11…

Look at the 2 pictures please help me with this problem

If the weight specification limits for a slab are 78.5kg (LSL) and 81.5kg (USL), what is the Cpk? Is the production process capable? Why (not)? Using A2, D3 and D4 factors, determine the upper and lower control limits for sample mean and sample range, and decide if the process is in control. State the reason for your decision. (Please use Excel for accurate results. Round final answers to 4 decimal places.)

I need help solving part a and b of the following question attached.

Snow avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common type of avalanche is called the slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia. Suppose slab avalanches studied in a region of Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. The ski patrol at Vail, Colorado, is studying slab avalanches in its region. A random sample of avalanches in spring gave the following thicknesses (in cm). 59 51 76 38 65 54 49 62 68 55 64 67 63 74 65 79 (i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) X= cm S= cm (ii) Assume the slab thickness has an approximately normal distribution. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the mean slab thickness in the Vail region is different from that in the region of Canada. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and…

An army that overhauls ground mobile radar systems is interested in improving its processes. One problem involves troubleshooting a particular component that has a high failure rate after it has been repaired and reinstalled in the system. The shop floor supervisor believes that having standard work procedures in place will reduce the time required for troubleshooting this component. Time (in minutes) required troubleshooting this component without and with the standard work procedure is recorded for a sample of 19 employess. In order to determine if having a standard work procedure in place reduces troubleshooting time, they should use: a test of two proportions a two-tailed test of two independent means. a one-tailed test of two indepedent means. a two-tailed paired t-test. a one-tailed paired t-test

Please answer the last 2 parts of the question: Is the actual value above, below or on the line? What is the interpretation of the residual? Thanks!

When you are testing the difference between two means, it is not important to distinguish whether the samples are independent of each other. True

Calculate the coefficient of determination for the data, and interpret the value in context.
