Five data entry operators work at the data processing department of the Birmingham Bank. Each day for $30$ days, the number of defective records in a sample of $350$ records typed by these operators has been$$ noted, as$$ follows:

Part $2$

$$a$)$ Establish $3$sigma upper and lower control limits$.$

UCL Subscript p $=$

$$

$.055($enter your response as a number between $0$ and$1,$ rounded to three decimal$$ places$).$

Part $3$

LCL Subscript p $=$

$$

$.002($enter your response as a number between $0$ and$1,$ rounded to three decimal$$ places$).$

Part $4$

$$b$)$ Why can the lower control limit not be a negative$$ number?

A$.$

Since the upper control limit is positive.

B$.$

Since the percent of defective records cannot be a negative number.

Your answer is correct.C$.$

Since the percent of defective records is always a positive number.

D$.$

Since the upper control limit cannot be a negative number.

Part $5$

$$c$)$ The industry standard for the upper control limit is $0\mathrm{.}10.$ What does this imply about Birmingham$$ Bank's own$$ standards?

The industry standard is
