Any sausage having pin holes, air pockets, deformation or breakage in its casings is counted as defective and total number of such defective sausages alone is noted in each shift. The following data represents the number of defective sausages in samples of 200 sausages taken from 10 shifts.

- Refer to Table S6.1 - Factors for Computing Control Chart Limits (3 sigma) for this problem. Twelve samples, each containing five parts, were taken from a process that produces steel rods at Emmanual Kodzi's factory. The length of each rod in the samples was determined. The results were tabulated and sample means and ranges were computed. The results were: Sample Mean (in.) Range (in.) Sample Sample Sample Mean (in.) Range (in.) 1 9.404 0.044 7 9.403 0.021 2 9.402 0.051 8 9.405 0.058 3 9.393 0.042 9.395 0.039 4 9.404 0.037 10 9.401 0.038 9.399 0.048 11 9.401 0.054 9.397 0.053 12 9.404 0.061 For the given data, the x = inches (round your response to four decimal places). Based on the sampling done, the control limits for 3-sigma x chart are: Upper Control Limit (UCL;) = inches (round your response to four decimal places). Lower Control Limit (LCL;) = inches (round your response to four decimal places).Using appropriate examples, distinguish between ‘attributes’ and ‘variables’ with regards to the measures of quality in Statistical Process Control.At Gleditsia Triacanthos Company, a certain manufactured part is deemed acceptable if its length is between 12.45 to 12.55 inches. The process is normally distributed with an average of 12.49 inches and a standard deviation of 0.014 inches. a) is the process capable of meeting specifications? b) Does the process meet specifications?
