The Johnson transformation appears to do a superior job to the Box-Cox approach in transforming the data into a normal distribution. As indicated in part b the observed percentage of product out is 24% which is less than the 34% predicted using the normal assumption.

a. Construct a histogram of the data and comment on its normality
b. Construct X and MR charts and comment on the state of statistical control.
c. Using the data and control charts from part b, estimate the mean and standard deviation of the service times.
d. Estimate the percentage of services that are likely to exceed the stipulated time limit.
e. If the process variation cannot be reduced, where would the process have to be centered so that there will be no more that 3.4 failures per million opportunities?
f. Assuming that the average service time remains at the level computed in part c, by what percentage would the process variance have to be reduced so that no more than 3.4 failures per million opportunities are produced?
