A local mattress manufacturer wants to know if its manufacturing process is in or out of control and has hired you, a statistics

expert in the field, to analyze its process. Specifically, the business has run 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month and has determined the mean of each sample.
Sample Mean of Sample
1 95.72
2 95.44
3 95.4
4 95.5
5 95.56
6 95.72
7 95.6
8 95.24
9 95.46
10 95.44
11 95.8
12 95.2
13 94.82
14 95.78
15 95.18
16 95.32
17 95.08
18 95.22
19 95.04
20 95.48


Required:
a. Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control.
b. Assuming the process standard deviation is 0.50 and the mean of the process is the estimate calculated in part a , determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process.
c. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.

Answer:

a. 95.4

b. UCL = 96.07

LCL = 94.73

c.  Process is in control

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The computation of estimate mean is shown below:-

Estimate\ mean = \frac{\Sigma X}{N} \\\\ = \frac{1908.000}{20}

= 95.4

b. The computation of Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process is shown below:-

UCL = Mean + \frac{3\times \sigma }{\sqrt{Sample\ size} }

UCL = 95.4 + \frac{3\times (0.5)}{\sqrt{0.5} }

= 95.4 + 0.67082

= 96.07

UCL = Mean - \frac{3\times \sigma }{\sqrt{Sample\ size} }

UCL = 95.4 - \frac{3\times (0.5)}{\sqrt{0.5} }

= 95.4 - 0.67082

= 94.73

c. The explanation is shown below:-

From the above calculation we can see that the sample lies between LCL AND UCL that is (94.73 ,96.07) ,  

The Process is in control

$4750 invested at 10% p.a compounded semiannually for 10 years, calculate the interest
alexgriva [62]
<h3>Answer:  $7,853.16</h3>

Work Shown:

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 4750*(1+0.10/2)^(2*10)

A = 12,603.164099436

A = 12,603.16

That represents the account balance after 10 years. To find the interest only, subtract off the deposit amount.

interest = A-P = 12,603.16 - 4,750 = 7,853.16

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

A     $0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve how much does it cost to have a bulb on for an hour. ⇒ 120 watt = 0.1 kilowatt per hour which costs 0.20 per kilowatt per ⇒ 0.1 kilowatt per hour* 0.20 = 0.02 dollars in an hour.
