Question 1: ISO 9001:2008 standards provide strict guidelines for how products are to be produced.
True
False
Question 2: The central line on a p-chart is 0.50 with a UCL of 0.65 and an LCL of 0.35. The results of the next six samples are 0.60, 0.37, 0.45, 0.48, 0.45, and 0.42. What should you do?
Nothing; the process is behaving as expected.
Explore the assignable causes because three observations are above the central line.
Explore assignable causes because there is a run.
Increase the sample size to get a better measure.
Question 3: The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program considers a company's business results but ISO 9001:2008 registration does not.
True
False
Question 4: The underlying statistical distribution for the p-chart is:
Poisson.
binomial
percentage.
normal.
Question 5: The ISO 9001:2008 standard:
emphasizes corporate leadership as a means of determining who receives the award.
has the greatest number of points awarded for business results.
is awarded by the U.S. government each year.
addresses quality system documentation.
Question 6: Use the information from Table, What is the upper control limit (UCL) if the bank were to use z = 2 and a sample size of 100?

Question 7: A metal-cutting operation has a target value of 20 and consistently averages 19.8 with a standard deviation of 0.5. The design engineers have established an upper specification limit of 22 and a lower specification limit of 18. What is the process capability ratio?
1.20
1.33
1.46
1.66
Question 8: Historically, the average proportion of defective bars has been 0.015. Samples will be of 100 bars each. Construct a p-chart using z = 3. Suppose a sample had 0.07 defectives. What would you do?
Nothing; it is just random variation.
Look for assignable causes.
Change z to 2 and take another sample.
Change z to 4 and continue sampling.
Question 9: Samples of 100 checks each were taken at a bank from an encoding machine (which records the amount of a check) over a five-day period. Details are summarized in Table. If the bank were to use the average proportion defective from these five samples as the central line for a process control chart, what would be the central line?
