A dog manufacturer must monitor the grams of fat contained in a food item. When the manufacturing process is in control, the grams of fat in the food form a normal population with a mean of 22.1 grams and a standard deviation of 0.7 of a gram. Compute the upper and lower control limits of an x-bar chart for 40 samples of size 8.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Solution:
Upper and Lower control limits for Xbar chart can be calculated
as
Here no. of sample size = 8
LCL = Mean - 3*
/sqrt(n)
UCL= Mean +3*/sqrt(n)
Also Mean = 22.1 Grams
Standard deviation = 0.7 Grams
LCL = 22.1 - 3*0.7/sqrt(8) = 22.1 - 0.74 = 21.36
UCL = 22.1 + 3*0.7/sqrt(8) = 22.1 + 0.74 = 22.84
So Upper and Lower control limit of an x bar chart is 22.84 grams
and 21.36 grams.

Data were collected from a process in which the factor of
interest was whether a finished item contained a particular
attribute. The fraction of items that did not contain the attribute
was recorded. A total of 20 samples were selected. The common
sample size was 150 items. The total number of nonconforming items
was 720. Based on these data, compute the upper and lower control
limits for the p-chart.
