RECITATION 3
1. The manufacturer wishes to set up a control chart at the final inspection station for a
gas water heater. Defects in workmanship and visual quality features are checked in
this inspection. For the last 22 working days, 176 water heaters were inspected and a
total of 924 nonconformities reported.
a) What type of control chart would you recommend here and how would you use it?
b) Using three water heaters as the inspection unit, calculate the center line and
control limits that are consistent with the past 22 days of inspection data.
c) What is the α-risk (type I error) for the new control chart with three water heaters
as the inspection unit?
2. A paper mill uses a control chart to monitor the imperfection in finished rolls of paper.
Production output is inspected for twenty days and the resulting data are shown here.

a) Use these data to set up a control chart for nonconformities per roll of paper. Does
the process appear to be in statistical control? What center line and control limits
would you recommend for controlling current production?
b) Set up a u chart based on an average sample size to control this process.
c) Set up a standardized u chart for this process.
