10.(ID 84 LO 5) A design engineer wants to

10.(ID 84 LO 5) A design engineer wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling the service life of a halogen headlamp his company produces. He knows from numerous previous samples that this service life is normally distributed with a mean of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours. On three recent production batches, he tested service life on random samples of four headlamps, with these results: Sample 1 495 525 470 Hours of Service Life 500 505 505 480 460 515 500 515 470 3 If he uses upper and lower control limits of 520 and 480 hours, on what sample(s) (if any) does service life appear to be out of control?
