4. The number of defective products made on the production shop floor is
the primary concern of an IE. He thinks that there are three candidate reasons
why defectives change: Machine type , worker-shift, and day of the week. He was
able to collect the following frequency tabulation:

Machine Shift Monday Tuesday Wed Thu Fri

A 1 6 4 5 5 4

2 5 7 4 6 8

B 1 10 8 7 7 9

2 7 9 12 8 8

C 1 7 5 6 5 9

2 9 7 5 4 6

D 1 8 4 6 5 5

2 5 7 9 7 10
 a. Can machine type be a significant factor for differences in defectives?

The defectives in Machine B

is significantly higher than
the rest of the machines.
Since their is a major
difference between the
values, it can be concluded
that machine type has a
significant factor in the
differences of the defectives.
b. Can Workers in different shifts be the reason for differences in

defectives?

The number of defectives produced in shift 2

It is evident that workers in shift 2 produce
is always higher than that in shift 1 except for
more defectives compared to shift 1.
machine C based on the bar chart. The
difference in machine C can be considered
insignificant since their only differ by 1.
c. Is the day of the week a factor in differences in occurrence of defectives?

There is no obvious
significant difference in the
defectives produced each
day since there are no
extremely high or low
values. For that reason, the
day of a week is not a factor
in the differences in
occurrence of defectives.
