Summary Introduction
To determine: The variable that is not an input variable.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Determine the variable that is not an input variable:
In the production of pizza, the amount of dough required to make the pizza, type of cheese required, and the oven’s temperature are input variables. Input variable is the type of variable, which would be under the control of the management.
When the pizza was delivered to the customers, the after process would not be an input variable. As time that the customer leaves the pizza in the refrigerator would occur after the customer purchases pizza, it is not an input variable.
Hence, option (d) is correct and options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect variables.

Papa John's, for instance, offers a 10-minute takeout guarantee. Domino's advertises a 30-minute delivery time. Suppose that the quality control manager at a nationwide pizza chain defines this production variable: An order is processed on time or late. Every night, a random sample of pizza orders is selected, and data are collected on the production variable for each order in the sample. To detect a change in the number of orders that are late, the quality control manager uses Based on the control chart, the quality control manager decides that the variation in output is due to assignable causes. Consequently, the manager concludes that the production process is ; it is Statistical procedures for process control use a hypothesis-testing framework. The null and alternative…arrow_forward
