Question:

A process is controlled by a P chart using samples of size 100. The center line on the chart is 0.05.

(a) What is the probability that the control chart detects a shift to 0.08 on the first sample following the shift?

(b) What is the probability that the control chart does not detect a shift to 0.08 on the first sample following the shift, but does detect it on the second sample?

(c) Suppose that instead of a shift in the mean to 0.08, the mean shifts to 0.10. Repeat parts (a) and (b).

(d) Compare your answers for a shift to 0.08 and for a shift to 0.10. Explain why they differ. Also, explain why a shift to 0.10 is easier to detect.
