1. A process is monitored for flaws by taking a sample of size 50 each hour and counting the total number of flaws in the sample items. The total number of flaws over the last 30 samples is 658.
a. Compute the center line and upper and lower 3σ control limits.
b. The tenth sample had three flaws. Was the process out of control at that time? Explain.
2. To set up a p chart to monitor a process that produces computer chips, samples of 500 chips are taken daily, and the number of defective chips in each sample isand R.

The means are X s = 0.058.

b. Compute the 3σ limits for the X chart. On the basis of the 3σ limits, is the process mean in control? If not, at what point is it first detected to be out of control?
c. On the basis of the Western Electric rules, is the process mean in control? If not, when is it first detected to be out of control?
a. Compute the upper and lower 3σ limits for a p chart.
b. At which sample is the process first detected to be out of control?
c. Suppose that the special cause that resulted in the out-of-control condition is determined. Should this cause be remedied? Explain.

Calculate the area of the sector
: Calculate the area of the sectorABD in terms of angle θ. Take the formulas you got in 2) and 3) and just by looking at the diagram, put the three areas in order of increasing size.

Would this have proven that the new process is better
: One of the engineers suggests that the test proves that the new process is no better than the old process, since the proportion of defectives in the sample is the same. Is this conclusion justified? Explain.

Assess manufacturing consistency
: More quality. Would a bigger sample help us to assess manufacturing consistency? Suppose instead of the 50-candy bags of Exercise 20, we work with bags that contain 200 M&M's each. Again we calculate the proportion of green candies found.

Record the proportion of green candies
: The candy company that makes M&M's candies claims that 10% of the candies it produces are green and that bags are packed randomly. We can check on their production controls by sampling bags of candies. Suppose we open bags containing about 50 M&M'..
