Consider the following data of 10 averages and ranges on subgroups of size n=5 and the...
Problems 21- 26 are based on the following information: A paper-cutting machine is operating in a process that is producing paper of a standard length (11.5 inches). As the paper is being cut by the machine, periodically subgroups of five pieces are selected. The results for a set of 20 consecutive subgroups were as follows: Subgroup Range Ri Subgroup Mean X. Subgroup Subgroup Range Ri Subgroup Mean X Subgroup Number Number 0.061 11.494 11 0.043 11.523 1 0.054 11.506 0.049...
A pizza restaurant monitors the size (measured by the diameter) of the 10-inch pizzas that it prepares. Pizza crusts are made from doughs that are prepared and prepackaged in boxes of 15 by a supplier. Doughs are thawed and pressed in a pressing machine. The toppings are added, and the pizzas are baked. The wetness of the doughs varies from box to box, and if the dough is too wet or greasy, it is difficult to press, resulting in a...
Question 4 [20 marks] By utilising Annexure A, answer the following questions: (a) 15 samples of n 8 have been taken from a cleaning operation. The average sample range for the 20 samples was 0.016 minute, and the average mean was 3 minutes. Determine the three-sigma control limits for this process. (4 marks) (b) 15 samples of n 10 observations have been taken from a milling process. The average sample range is 0.01 centimetres. Determine upper and lower control limits...
