Question

leah's toys produced molded plastic baby rattles. these rattles must be completely smooth. that is, there can be no rough edges where the molded halves fit together . rattles are judged to be either acceptable or defective with regard with regard to this requirement. Leash has determined that the current process has an underlying P value of 0.01, meaning that on average, 1 out of 100 rattles is currently the standard deviation for the process and resulting control limits for sample of 200 rattles each.

Explanation / Answer

p = 0.01

n = 200

standard deviation (s) = sqrt(p*(1-p)/n) = sqrt(0.01*(1-0.01)/200) = 0.007

Let z = 3 for 3 sigma process

UCL = p + z*s = 0.01 + 3*0.007 = 0.031

LCL = p - z*s = 0.01 - 3*0.007 = -0.011. Hence, 0 (as it cannot be negative)
