Question

Given asphalt content test data:

Answer 1

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

A) overall mean = 5.535,  standard deviation ≈ 0.3239

B ) upper limit = 5.85, lower limit = 5.0

C) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications

D) fluctuation ( unstable Asphalt content )

Explanation:

B) The daily average asphalt content has to obtained in order to determine the upper and lower control limits using an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% everyday

The upper limit : 14 may = ( 5.8 + 5.1 ) / 2 = 5.85

The lower limit : 16 may = ( 5.2 + 4.8 ) / 2 = 5.0

attached below is the required plot

C ) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications and the samples that do not meet up are samples from :

15 may and 16 may . this is because their Asphalt contents are 6.2 and 4.8 respectively and sample number 18 and 20

D ) what can be observed is that the ASPHALT content fluctuates between the dates while the contract specification is fixed
