What are typical warning limits for control charts?: a. 1-sigma b. 2-sigma c. 3-sigma d. 6-sigma

Explanation / Answer

Solving first 4 subparts

37 Increase sample size -Yes .Other things being equal, the greater the sample size, the greater the power of the test.

38 Decrease alpha - No . The higher the significance level, the higher the power of the test. If you decrease the significance level, you increase the region of acceptance, resulting in lower power

39 Decrease variability- Yes. Greater the standard deviation,lower is the power of the test

40 Increase the difference between groups - Yes. The greater the difference between the "true" value of a parameter and the value specified in the null hypothesis, the greater the power of the test. That is, the greater the effect size, the greater the power of the test.
