An automatic filling machine is used to fill 1-liter bottles of cola.  The machine’s output is approximately normal with a mean of 1.0 liter and standard deviation of .01 liter. Output is monitored using means of samples of 25 observations.  Determine upper and lower control limits that will include roughly 97% of the sample means when the process is in control. Using Appendix B, Table A to find the value of Z corresponding to the mean control limits.
A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results: Machine Measurements #1 17 15 15 17 #2 16 25 18 25 # 3 23 24 23 22 What is the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control? What is the sample average range based upon this limited sample? What are the x-bar chart upper and lower control limits?
At Gleditsia Triacanthos Company, a certain manufactured part is deemed acceptable if its length is between 12.45 to 12.55 inches. The process is normally distributed with an average of 12.49 inches and a standard deviation of 0.014 inches. a) is the process capable of meeting specifications? b) Does the process meet specifications?
