    Review Questions To Attempt

    Uploaded by

    This document contains 4 review questions about quality control and control charts. It discusses key concepts of control charts like their construction and interpretation. Control charts are used to monitor processes over time and determine if the process is in or out of control. An example is given monitoring checkout times at a supermarket using mean and range control charts. The data shows 6 samples, and the question asks to determine control limits for the charts and if the process is in or control. Another question provides data on the fillweights of toothpaste tubes over 24 samples, and asks to calculate control limits, draw the X-bar and R charts, and comment on the process variability.

    CHAPTER 10: REVIEW QUESTIONS QUALITY CONTROL

    1. What are the key concepts that underlie the construction and interpretation of control charts?

    2. What is the purpose of a control chart?

    3. Checkout time at a supermarket is monitored using a mean and a range chart. Six samples of

    n = 20 observations have been obtained and the sample means


    and ranges computed:

    Sample Mean Range Sample Mean Range

    1 3.06 .42 4 3.13 .46

    2 3.15 .50 5 3.06 .46

    3 3.11 .41 6 3.09 .45

    a. Using the factors in Table 10.3, determine upper and lower limits for mean and range
    charts.

    b. Is the process in control?

    QUESTION 4
    The table below shows the fillweights of toothpaste tubes on a filling machine. The time between samples is
    20 minutes; 24 samples are taken during the 8-hour production shift. The samples are of size n=4.
