10 Problem 4Breeze Toothpaste Company has been having a problem withsome of the tubes of toothpaste leaking. The tubes are packed incontainers with 100 tubes each. Fifteen containers of toothpastehave been sampled. The following number of toothpaste tubeswere found to have leaks.Sample Number of Leaky Tubes13283144169.6.167.6.109.6.101110121113131451511Construct the appropriate control chart with 30 limits. Plot thedata and determine whether the process is in control.

In this, case, the leakage is a defect. For defective items, a C-bar control chart is used.

We want to determine the AOQ for an acceptance samplingplan when the quality of the incoming lots in percent defectiveis 1.5%, and then again when the incoming percent defective is 5%.T he sample size is 80 units for a lot size of 550 units. Furthermore,Pa at 1.5% defective levels is 0.95. At 5% incoming defective levels,the Pa is found to be 0.5. Determine the average outgoing qualityfor both incoming percent defective levels.

Your process engineering departmenthas conducted experiments and determined that the mean is 8.01 grams with a standard deviation of .03. Your specificationsare: m = 8.0 and s = .04, which means an upper specification limit of 8.12 [ = 8.0 + 3(.04)] and a lower specification limit of7.88 [= 8.0 - 3(.04)].What is the Cpk performance of the injection system?

Quality Control of Doughnuts: The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels stating that there are 12 doughnuts weighing a total of 42 oz. If the variation among the doughnuts is too large, some boxes will be underweight (cheating consumers) and others will be overweight (lowering profit). A consumer would not be happy with a doughnut so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope, nor would a consumer be happy with a doughnut so large that it resembles a tractor tire. The quality-control supervisor has found that he can stay out of trouble if the doughnuts have a mean of 3.50 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.06 oz. or less. Twelve doughnuts are randomly selected from the production line and weighed, with the result given here (in ounces). 3.43 3.37 3.58 3.50 3.68 3.61 3.42 3.52 3.66 3.50 3.36 3.42 Construct a 95% confidence interval for σ, and then determine whether the quality-control…
