Write a brief report comparing the sampling plans described in Exercises 21.16 and 21.19. Discuss the relative costs of the two plans and the frequency of Type I and Type II errors.

A production facility produces 100 units per hour and uses an x̅ chart to monitor its quality. The control limits are set at 3 standard errors from the mean.
