Question

Preppy Cola, Inc. uses SPC to ensure that cans of soda meet a weight requirement of 12 oz. They take samples of 70 cans and reject those that weigh below 12 oz. Recent study, using 200 in control samples, shows that this process has a random process mean of p-bar = 0.09. What are the control limits and the 2 sigma warning limits for this process?

UCLp = 0.193;   LCLp = -0.068; +2SigmaWLp = 0.158; -2SigmaWLp = 0.022

UCLp = 0.193;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.158; -2SigmaWLp = 0.022

UCLp = 0.151;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.130; -2SigmaWLp = 0.050

UCLp = 0.151;   LCLp = -0.040; +2SigmaWLp = 0.130; -2SigmaWLp = 0.050

UCLp = 0.094;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.093; -2SigmaWLp = 0.087

UCLp = 0.193;   LCLp = -0.068; +2SigmaWLp = 0.158; -2SigmaWLp = 0.022

UCLp = 0.193;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.158; -2SigmaWLp = 0.022

UCLp = 0.151;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.130; -2SigmaWLp = 0.050

UCLp = 0.151;   LCLp = -0.040; +2SigmaWLp = 0.130; -2SigmaWLp = 0.050

UCLp = 0.094;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.093; -2SigmaWLp = 0.087

Explanation / Answer

here std error =(p*(1-p)/n)1/2 =0.0342

therefore UCLp =pbar +3*Std errror =0.193

and LCLp =pbar -3*Std errror =0.0000(cause it can not be negative)

for +2SigmaWLp =pbar +2*Std errror =0.158

for -2SigmaWLp =pbar -2*Std errror =0.0.022

hence correct option is :

UCLp = 0.193;   LCLp = 0.000; +2SigmaWLp = 0.158; -2SigmaWLp = 0.022
