It is required to establish Upper and Lower Quality Control limits on the weight of a semolina product produced in a Flour Mills Factory. 12 samples of size 5 are taken and the following Average Weight values (grams) as well as Range values (MaximumMinimum) are determined for each sample.
\table[[,74.0,75.5,72.5,74.2,72.5,73.2,72,73.0,74.2,74.7],[i: 3.,4.0,3.0,3.5,2.5,3.0,4.0,3.0,2.5,2.0,2.5]]
a) Establish 3x control limits for x and R charts to be used for future process control. (Note: Delete the points that are out of control limits and reestablish the limits)
b) If the specifications are 75+-3 grams on the product weight, what would be process capability? What do you think of these specifications as related to the process itself?
c) If the sample size of 5 is reduced to 3, what would be the new control limits for the x chart?
d) What would be the control limits for n=5 and type I error of =0.005 for the same data above?
