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
\table[[Sample,Service Life (hours)],[1,495,500,505,500],[2,525,515,505,515],[3,470,480,460,470]]
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?
Multiple Choice
