- 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: For upper and lower control limits of 23.29 and 16.71, which machine(s), if any, appear(s) to have an out-of-control process mean?arrow_forwardThe temperature of a burrito served to a customer in a local Mexican restaurant A: Discrete B; Continousarrow_forwardCheckout time at a supermarket is monitored using a mean and a range chart.
