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:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack.
Also each system is independent of the other to detect missile attack.
a) the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack=
b) the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack given two systems= 1-Prob no system detects
=
c) If three systems are installed, the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack
= 1- none of the three systems detect attack
d) We find that probability of detecting is more if we increase the system form 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.
Hence for safety and defence purpose multiple detection system is recommended.
