A quality analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are

in control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results.
Machine 1 Measirement 17 15 15 17
Machine 2 Measurement 16 25 18 25
Machine 3 Measurement 23 24 23 22

It is known from previous experience that the standard deviation of a typical machine is measured as 2.1067. What are the Mean chart three-sigma upper and lower control limits?

a. 22 and 18
b. 23.16 and 16.84
c. 22.29 and 16.71
d. 23.5 and 16.5
e. 24 and 16

Answer:

b. 23.16 and 16.84

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

The Mean of each and every sample (X-bar) is

= Sum of observations  Number of observations

And,

Range (R) = (Highest observation - Lowest observation)  

For Machine 1:

X-bar = (17 + 15 + 15 + 17) ÷ 4

= 16

R = (17 - 15)

= 2

For Machine 2:

X-bar = (16 + 25 + 18 + 25) ÷ 4

= 21

R = (25 - 16)

= 9

For Machine 3:

X-bar = (23 + 24 + 23 + 22) ÷ 4

= 23

R = (24 - 22)

= 2

Now, the Mean of means (X-double bar) is determined as follows

X-double bar = Sum of X-bar ÷ Number of samples

 = (16 + 21 + 23) ÷ 3

= 20

The Mean of ranges (R-bar) is determined as follows  

R-bar = Sum of R ÷ Number of samples

= (2 + 9 + 2) ÷  3

= 4.33

with reference to the table of constants for determining the 3-sigma upper and lower control limits,

 n = 4  that represent the Number of units sampled  

A2 = 0.729,

Now

UCL = X-double bar + (A2 × R-bar)

= 20 + (0.729 × 4.33)

= 23.16

LCL = X-double bar - (A2 × R-bar)

 = 20 - (0.729 × 4.33)

= 16.84

Is what we call the stock of goods that a business or store has on hand?
timurjin [86]
<span>Is what we call the stock of goods that a business or store has on hand? Inventory. Inventory and inventory management is so important when it comes to running a business with goods for purchase. The business needs to make sure they have enough supply on hand for the amount of demand that consumers have for the product. Usually there is an inventory management team that keeps track of how the products are staying in stock and when reordering needs to happen. </span>

Describe at least three exchange rate factors that are likely to attract foreign investors to a country's currency. Explain why
lana66690 [7]

Answer: 1. High Interest

2. Low Government Debt

3. Political Stability

Explanation:

Foreign Investors are Investors and investors always like to invest where there are prospects of growth and profit.

High Interest Rates give them the opportunity to invest their money in a currency that will give them a great return because a country where there are high interest rates imparts this on its currency which causes it to rise in value thereby giving currency holders a capital gain.

Another factor is Government Debt. A country with high Government debt will typically be unable to raise funds through the bond market easily. This shortage of funds can lead to inflation which devalues currency causing foreign currency investors to flee.

Finally there is the Political Factor (other factors exist). A stable country politically stands a better chance of maintaining a higher value currency that one with lower political stability. This is because political Stability attracts investors and as more investments come into a country, this reflects in its currency by making it stronger which will attract foreign currency investors.

Crank

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Price will increase, and quantity will increase.

Explanation:

If a natural disaster cuts the supply for water in a region, bottled water will face an <em>increase in its quantity demanded</em> as a substitute. Besides, due to scarcity, the bottled water is likely to face an increase in its price, thus, the <em>equilibrium price of bottled water increases</em>.
