1) Use your own random (μ, σ) to generate four sets of (normal-distribution based) random numbers (i.e., samples) of sizes n = 5, 20, 80, and 320, respectively.

2) Calculate the means and standard deviations for the 4 samples you generated in Point-6 above. Ensure that these are within the limits found in Point-5, otherwise, repeat Point-6 and replace the data set(s).

3) Now, assume that (μ, σ) are unknown. Estimate the four pairs of different 95% confidence intervals, for the population's statistics (μ,σ), using the four samples' data in Point-7 above, respectively.

4) Plot your results found in Point-8 above as (μ versus n) and (σ versus n), (i.e., two limit points for every n value), and include reference lines at the true population statistics values. Explain, in two or less sentences, your observations. (Note that your own (μ,σ) selected in Point-4 above are the true values for the population statistics).

5) Use all the 80 points of the n = 80 data set in Point-6 above to create 20 sub-set samples of size n = 4 each.

6) Determine the ±3σ control limits, both for sample-mean and -standard-deviation (i.e., X-Bar and S) charts, using the sample data in Point-10 above.

7) To simulate a potentially out-of-control process, change your own original μ and σ (Point-4 above) as (μ* = K1xμ, σ* =K2xσ), i.e., calculate a new set of population statistics, where K1 and K2 are two separate randomly generated values: K1 is between 2.1-2.3, and K2 is between 1.5-2.0, respectively.

8) Generate a new set of 20 samples all of size n = 4, using the new population statistics μ* and σ*.

9) Calculate and plot the mean and standard-deviation data for the 20 new samples (Point-13 above) on the X-Bar and S charts using the control limits calculated for the population with the original (μ,σ) values (Point-11 above). Explain, in two or less sentences, your observations.

Your answers, obtained using ONLY and exclusively the MINITAB software, except where clearly stated otherwise, must be according to formulae and concepts introduced. All questions must be answered, or commented on, within the 2-page limit. All graphs and screen-prints (from Minitab only) should be included in an appendix. Answering Questions: All mathematical work (where applicable) should be clearly displayed, with derivations if necessary. Show at least one sample calculation for calculating limits. Attach screen capture of generated numbers in the appendix.
