- 1. Twenty samples, each consisting of 100 admission applications at a university, resulted in a total of 80 applications that had some type of error. Compute the control limits for a p-chart. What would be the impact on the final results if each sample contained 200 loan applications rather than 100 and all other data remained the same? Please show in detail these impacts quantitatively in your answers.arrow_forwardA medical facility does MRI scans for sports injuries. Occasionally a test yields inconclusive result and must be repeated. Using the following 15 sample results for the number of retests in n = 150 observations each, determine the control limits for the proportion of retests. Use three sigma (standard deviations) limits.
