Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.27P
Three independent sets of data are collected front the population of a variable during similar process operating condition. The statistics are found to be
Ni = 16; jf| = 32: JXI = 3 units N2 = 21; jf| = 30; = 2 units N3 =9; Xi = 34; sXj = 6 units
Neglecting systematic errors and random errors other than the variation in the measured data set, compute an estimate of the pooled mean value of this variable and the range in which the true mean should lie with 95% confidence.

Q.49 A person operates a machine that makes capacitors. He has been advised to keep
the track of the percentage defectives at his work center. He knows that this type of
process, they expect about 4% defectives plus or minus some chance variation. He
wishes to initially construct a control chart for defectives. He has prepared ten daily
samples of hundred capacitors each.
Sample No. 1 2 3456 789 10

An engineer measures the diameter of 20 tubes selected at random from a large shipment. The
sample mean is 48.5 mm and
S- 9.4 mm. The manufacturer of the tubes claims that 2 = 42.1 mm. Is this claim supported by
data set? for 90% probability?

Forecast sales for the 7th period. For leveling, use exponential smoothing 0.20 and moving average 3 for averaging; and linear and exponential functions for trend data. Assume an initial exponential forecast of 60 units in period 2 if you decide to use it (i.e., no forecast for period 1).
