A. Choudhury’s bowling ball factory in Illinois makes bowling balls of adult size and weight only. The standard deviation in the
weight of a bowling ball produced at the factory is known to be 0.12 pounds. Each day for 24 days, the average weight, in pounds, of nine of the bowling balls produced that day has been assessed as follows:
Day Average (LB) Day Average (LB)
1 16.3 13 16.3
2 15.9 14 15.9
3 15.8 15 16.3
4 15.5 16 16.2
5 16.3 17 16.1
6 16.2 18 15.9
7 16.0 19 16.2
8 16.1 20 15.9
9 15.9 21 15.9
10 16.2 22 16.0
11 15.9 23 15.5
12 15.9 24 15.8
Required:
a. Establish a control chart for monitoring the average weights of the bowling balls in which the upper and lower control limits are each two standard deviations from the mean. What are the values of the control limits?
b. If three standard deviations ate used in the chart, how do these values change? Why?

Answer:
0.8333 = 83.33% probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes if it is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.
The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:
Uniformly distributed over the interval 40 to 75 minutes.
This means that
It is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes
This means that we can use
What is the probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes?
0.8333 = 83.33% probability that the cycle time exceeds 50 minutes if it is known that the cycle time exceeds 45 minutes
