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

Assume the initial present value of the payments on a lease are equal to the cost of the leased asset. This capital lease is rec
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: D) present value of the remaining lease payments.

Explanation:

When recording a capital lease in the balance sheet of the lessee, the amount recorded is the<em> lower amount </em>between the present value of the remaining lease payments or the cost of the leased asset.

As the <em>cost</em> of the leased asset is <em>equal</em> to the <em>initial</em> present value of the payments, the cost will therefore be higher than the current present value of the remaining payments so the appropriate amount to put in the balance sheet will be the current present value of the remaining lease payments.

If a manufacturing process takes 4 hours per unit of x and 2 hours per unit of y and a maximum of 100 hours of manufacturing pro
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The algebraic formulation of the constraint is 4X+2Y ≤ 100

Explanation:

The algebraic formulation of the constraint is shown below:

Given that

The number of hours taken per unit of x is 4 hours

And the number of hours taken per unit of x is 2 hours

And, the maximum hours available is 100

Now based on the above information

The  algebraic formulation of the constraint is

= 4X+2Y ≤ 100

hence, the same is to be considered

Four hundred and eighty minutes of production time are available per day. The schedule calls for the production of 80 units per
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Explanation:

Given the total time available per day = 480 minutes

the cycle time which is the time required or spent to produce a unit can be obtained as;

Cycle time = Total time / Demand per day

Cycle time = 480 / 80 = 6 minutes

hence 6 minutes is the cycle time  for one unit.

The theoretical number of stations can be calculated thus;

Theoretical number of stations = Time for one unit / Cycle time

= 30/6 = 5 workstations

<em>Therefore the theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

As a general construction contractor, WDF INC. contracted to renovate schools in New York City. WDF subcontracted with JLG Archi
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

WDF Inc. is correct.  From the fact that JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc. were partners in the window installation subcontract, they should be jointly and severally held liable for any liability arising from the window installation project unless they have contrary agreements clearly differentiating their liabilities in the partnership.

Explanation:

WDF Inc. = main contractor

JLG Architectural Products = subcontractor and partner to East Coast

East Coast Window Installers Inc. = subcontractor and partner to JLG

JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc have formed a partnership when they come together to form a business or execute a business transaction jointly.  A joint venture is a kind of partnership.
