- Resistors for electronic circuits are manufactured on a high-speed automated machine. The machine is set up to produce a large run of resistors of 1,000 Ohms each. To set up the machine and to create a control chart to be used throughout the run, 15 samples and their measured values are as follows: Sample Number Readings (in Ohms) 1 1010 991 985 986 2 995 996 1009 994 3 990 1003 1015 1008 4 1015 1020 1009 998 5 1013 1019 1005 993 6 994 1001 994 1005 7 989 992 982 1020 8 1001 986 996 996 9 1006 989 1005 1007 10 992 1007 1006 979 11 996 1006 997 989 12 1019 996 991 1011 13 981 991 989 1003 14 999 993 988 984 15 1013 1002 1005 992 Develop three-sigma appropriate control chart(s) from the chart(s) what comments can you make about the process?

Since the filling process is automated, it has very stable variability, and long experience indicates that s = 0.02 oz. The process target (process mean when in control) is 8.02 oz. A tabular cusum is being used for this process with standardized values h=4.5 and k=0.5. If the values of Cumulative sums at the end of measurement 7 were C," + = 0.030 and C,¯ = 0.0 , and measurement 8 is equal to Xg = 8.071, what will be the Cumulative sum at the end of measurement 8, that is C3 + = ? 0.041 0.071 0.051 0.046 0.061arrow_forwardPlease Answer Quality Management Question A milling machine has an expected life of 10 years from the time it is installed into a production line. Assume the exponential distribution is appropriate. What is the probability that the machine will fail between 5 and 12 years after being installed into the production line? Suppose the three milling machines were designed in parallel into the production line system. What is the probability that the production line system will survive 10 years?arrow_forward
- In a process of filling soda bottles 8% of the total is not completely filled, a potential buyer of the product decides to reject a large purchase batch yes to section a sample of 225 bottles the percentage of bottles that are not completely filled is greater than 7% with a probability greater than 85% a) Under these conditions will they buy the lot? justify the answer b) What is the minimum sample size so that the lot is not bought?arrow_forward3arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thanku Canine Gourmet Super Breath dog treats are sold in boxes labeled with a net weight of 9 ounces (255 grams) per box. Each box contains 6 individual 1.5-ounce packets. To reduce the chances of shorting the customer, product design specifications call for the packet-filling process average to be set at 43.5 grams so that the average net weight per box of 6 packets will be 261 grams. Tolerances are set for the box to weigh 261±15 grams. The standard deviation for the packet-filling process is 1.01 grams. The target process capability ratio is 1.67. One day, the packet-filling process average weight drifts down to 43.0 grams. Is the packaging process capable? Is an adjustment needed? Since the process capability index, Cpk, is (____), the process is (_____) . (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) Since the process capability ratio, Cp, is (_____), the problem is that the process is (_____) . (Enter your…arrow_forward
- A rigid vessel having a volume of 0.05 m³ initially contains carbon dioxide gas at temperature 25°C and pressure p. Ethylene gas is allowed to flow into the tank until a mixture consisting of 20% carbon dioxide and 80% ethylene (molar basis) exits within the tank at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 100 bar. Determine the pressure p, in bar, using Kay's rule together with the generalized compressibility chart.

- Pepsi makes bottles that need to be between 30 and 32 oz. You do measurements, and you find that a normal distribution describes Pepsi's actual bottling machine performance. Specifically, the mean of the process is 30.5 oz, and the process standard deviation is 0.02 oz. If Pepsi wants to be within the tolerances 99.7% of the time, what is the process capability index? Round your answer to the nearest 2nd decimal point. For example, if your answer is 0.4435, enter 0.44 into the box.arrow_forwardWhich biasing method is most commonly used for providing temperature stability?
