this process. Does the process seem to be in statistical

control? If necessary, revise the trial control limits.

b) If specifications on this diameter are 0.5030 0.0010 , find the percentage of
nonconforming bearings produced by this process. Assume that diameter is normally
distributed.

c) Suppose that you wished to continue charting this quality characteristic using
R

charts on a sample size

n=3 . What limits would be based on the

and

and

R charts.

d) What would be the impact of the decision you made in part (iii) on the ability of the
chart to detect a 2 shift in the mean?
e) If n=8 , revise the parts (iii) and (iv).
