Question

A supplier contract

  1. A supplier contract calls for a key dimension of a part to be between 1.96 and 2.04 centimeters. The supplier has determined that the standard deviation of its process, which is normally distributed, is 0.03 centimeter.

    1. If the actual mean of the process is 1.98, what fraction of parts will meet specifications?

    2. If the mean is adjusted to 2.00, what fraction of parts will meet specifications?

    3. How small must the standard deviation be to ensure that no more than 2% of parts are nonconforming, assuming the mean is 2.00?

    A grocer has a contract with a produce wholesaler that specifies that the wholesaler will supply the grocer with grapefruit that weigh at least.75 pounds each. In order to monitor the grapefruit weights, the grocer randomly selects three grapefruit from each of 25 different crates of grapefruit received from the wholesaler. Each grapefruit's weight is determined and, therefore, 25 subgroups of three grapefruit weights are obtained. When i and R charts based on these subgroups are constructed, we find that...
