LCLX = x A2 R

UCLR = D4 R = 2.114*4.56 = 9.64

Q2: Ans:
We can solve it by using Minitab: Stat - Control Charts - Variables Charts for Individuals - I-MR

= 16.1052, = 0.8865
= 0.02375, and since MR = 0.8865 0.02375 = .

Comment: It looks that the Individuals chart may have Sawtooth pattern.

Now to check if the can weight is normally distributed, we used Minitab:
Stat - Basic Statistics - Normality Test

From the probability plot above, it can be clearly seen that that the assumption of normally
distributed coffee can weights is valid.

The percentage of cans that will be underfilled = 100% X Pr{x < 16}

Now By using Minitab: Stat - Control Charts - Attributes Charts - P

We can see from the chart and the analysis results that sample 12 is out-of-control, so if we find out
what are the assignable causes for the sample 12 which is out of control, and remove them then the
control limit calculations will be:

n=100, m=19 and

b) The process should be investigated for the causes that led many subgroups as in the results above
(1,2,3,5,11,20) to be out of control, where the data should not be used to establish control limits
for future production.

Q6: Ans: Since n = 100, Center line = p = 0.08, UCL = 0.161, LCL = 0
a) np= 100*0.08 = 8 Then:

UCL = np + 3 np(1 p) = 8 + 38(1 0.08) = 16.14

LCL = np 3 np(1 p) = 8 38(1 0.08) = 8 8.1388 0

b) Since p = 0.080 < 0.1 and n =100 is large, so we can use Poisson approximation to the binomial:

Pr{type I error} = = Pr{D < LCL | p} + Pr{D > UCL | p}

= Pr{D < LCL | np} + [1 Pr{D UCL | np}]
= Pr{D < 0 | 8} + [1 Pr{D 16 | 8}]
= 0 + [1 Pr{D 16 | 8}]
And since
8 (8)
{ 16 | 8} = 16
=0 !
0.996, the cumulative Poisson distribution. Then

= 0 + [1 0.996] = 0.004
c) Since npnew = 100*0.20 = 20 which is > 15, (as in our book page 97) so we can use the normal
approximation to the binomial.

Pr{type II error} = = Pr{p < UCL| pnew } Pr{p LCL| pnew }

of inspection units. Then:
288
CL = u = = 0.7007
411
UCLi = u + 3 uni = 0.7007 + 30.7007ni

LCLi = u 3 uni = 0.7007 30.7007ni

Since ni is (18, 20, 21,22 and 24) Then:

ni [LCLi , UCLi]
18 [0.1088, 1.2926]
20 [0.1392, 1.2622]
21 [0.1527, 1.2487]
22 [0.1653, 1.2361]
24 [0.1881, 1.2133]
