Question

T. Crews, Inc. has been contracted to make Foolio. The recipe calls for 100 milligrams of taurine in each 16 ounce bottle. To make sure that they are in compliance, T. Crews has pulled eight bottles of Foolio from its last eleven batches and tested them for taurine content. The data from these tests is below.

Yes, because all points on the r-chart are within the control limits

Yes, because all points on the r-chart and x-bar chart are within the control limits

No, because points on the r-chart or x-bar chart are not within the control limits

No, because points on R chart are too close to average

Explanation / Answer

Range for each batch is calculated (maximum - minimum) as follows:

Average Range = 10.21182 (112.33/11)

UCL for Rchart is D4 * Average Range = 1.864* 10.21182 = 19.03483

LCT for Rchart is D3 * Average Range = .136 * 10.21182 = 1.388807

1. What is UCLR?

Between 18.76 and 19.25

2. What is LCLR?

Between 1.26 and 1.50

3. All points on the R-chart are within the control limits.

True

Value of A2 in the present case is .373, Grand Mean (mean of the sample means) = 103.582, therefore

UCL = 107.3911 and LCL = 99.77304

4. What is UCLX-bar?

Less than 110.00

5. What is LCLX-bar?

Greater than 99.01

6. All points on the X-bar chart are within the control limits.

Batch 2 has mean less than LCL

False

7. Is this process considered in control?

Yes, because all points on the r-chart are within the control limits

No, because points on the r-chart or x-bar chart are not within the control limits
