Question 2 1 out of 1 points

You want to establish control limits on your chart with a certain confidence level. What z-value do
you need to obtain a 90% confidence interval? Enter your answer to two decimal places.

Selected Answer: 1.645

Correct Answer: 1.645
Answer range +/- 0.005 (1.640 - 1.650)
Response Feedback: Your answer is correct.

Question 3 1 out of 1 points

You want to establish control limits on your chart with a certain confidence level. What z-value do
you need to obtain a 99.73% confidence interval? Enter your answer to at least two decimal
places.

Selected Answer: 3.00

Correct Answer: 3
Answer range +/- 0 (3.0 - 3.0)
Response Feedback: Your answer is correct.

Question 4 0 out of 1 points

 You are measuring a process, and you are given the following information:

 
Overall average: 195
Population stdev: 9
Sample size: 10

 
Determine the lower control limit if your desired confidence interval is 99%.

 
Enter your answer to one decimal place. It's OK if you get a negative number; in that case, just
enter the minus sign in front of it.

Selected Answer: [None Given]

Correct Answer: 187.7 ± 0.5

Response Feedback: See p. 250 in the 12th edition of Heizer and Render.

Question 5 0 out of 1 points

You are measuring a process, and you are given the following information:

 
Overall average: 195
Population stdev: 9
Sample size: 10

 
Determine the lower control limit if your desired confidence interval is 95%.

 
Enter your answer to one decimal place. It's OK if you get a negative number; in that case, just
enter the minus sign in front of it.

Selected Answer: [None Given]

Correct Answer: 189.4 ± 0.5

Response Feedback: See p. 250 in the 12th edition of Heizer and Render.

Question 6 0 out of 2 points

Say you have a process in which the center line is 100, and the LCL and UCL are 90 and 110
respectively.

These have been computed using z=3, or 99.73% confidence intervals.

If you change to z=2.58, to a 99% confidence interval, you would expect

Selected [None Given]

Answer:

Answers: The limits to become wider - the LCL will go down and the UCL will go up

The limits to become narrower - the LCL will go up and the UCL will go down
 The limits to remain unchanged

A point which was out of control at z=3 will become in control at z=2.58

Response Draw a picture for this one. Draw the original control limits and then draw
Feedback: the changed ones.

Question 7 1 out of 1 points

Look at the data in Data Set 3. Open this spreadsheet in Excel and use Excel to answer the
following question.

What should the UCL be if you want to use a 99.73% confidence interval? Round your answer to
one decimal place. If you get a negative number, just enter it with the minus sign in front of it.
 

Selected Answer: 67.77

Correct Answer: 67.77
Answer range +/- 0.5 (67.27 - 68.27)

Question 8 0 out of 1 points

Look at the data in Data Set 3. Open this spreadsheet in Excel and use Excel to answer the
following questions.

Response Hint: Remember in Excel you can use the STDEV.S function to calculate the standard
Feedback: deviation for a control chart. The AVERAGE function will give you your center line.
 Question 9 0 out of 1 points

Use the data in Data Set 5 and assume you want the 95.45% confidence level.

Make a control chart. Assume your process average is the average of all the data points.
Assume your process stdev is the sample standard deviation (use STDEV.S in Excel).

You learn that they changed the process about Observation 14. Does this chart imply that
change had any effect on your measurements?

Selected Answer: [None Given]

Answers: Yes

No

Cannot tell from this chart.

Question 10 0 out of 1 points

Use the data in Data Set 6 and assume you want the 99.73% confidence level.

Make a control chart. Assume your process average is the average of all the data points.
Assume your process stdev is the sample standard deviation (use STDEV.S in Excel).
 
Compute and graph a control chart, which should include the CL, the UCL, and the LCL.

Are all points in the process fully in control for all of the time periods given?
 
If they are all fully in control, enter a 0 as your answer below.
 
If one or more points are out of control, enter the observation number of the FIRST out-of-control
observation. For example, if Observations 3, 6, and 12 are all out of bounds, you would enter a 3
for Observation 3.

(Note for the purposes of this question, we define 'out of control' as exceeding either the upper or
lower control limit. Don't worry about runs of 5 points above the line or other such patterns.)

Selected Answer: [None Given]

Correct Answer: 0
Answer range +/- 0 (0 - 0)
Response Make the graph and look at your points. A single point must be above the UCL
Feedback: or below the LCL to be out of control.
