1.1 Data on product rejects of 2 different processes are as follows:

Process A: 1, 9, 2, 10 & 7

Process B: 2, 5, 6, 2 & 5

1.1.a Which process has the higher incidence of reject? ----- Solve for the mean

1.1.b Determine the more consistent process ------------------- Solve for standard deviation

Using the information above, make a simple statistical decision:

1.1 A.) Process A

∑x
x̄ =
n
1+ 9+ 2+ 10+7
x̄ =
5

x̄ =

x̄ = 5.8 Rejects
Process B

∑x
x̄ =
n
2+5+ 6+2+5
x̄ =

20
x̄ =
5

x̄ = 4 Rejects

Answer: Process A has the higher Rate of Incidents of Rejects

Answer: Process B has the lower standard deviation therefore, Process B has the more consistent
process
