Question

Please solve this problem, including building the X-bar charts, using MS Excel. Creating a separate spreadsheet tab for part (a) and for part (b), z=2 and z=3 respectively. Answer the "Why" of part (b) in the spreadsheet at the top of the page. See the sample problem (down below) for guidance on how to set this problem up.

Above is example of how to set up

Kime's bowling ball factory makes bowling balls of only. The standard deviation in the weight of a roduced at the factory is known to be 0.12 pounds. Each s, the average weight, in pounds, of nine of the bowling bowling .. s6.8 Bill adult size and weight bowling ball day for 24 days, s weigh produced that day has been assessed as follows: Average (lb) 16.3 15.9 15.8 15.5 16.3 16.2 16.0 16.1 15.9 16.2 15.9 15.9 Day 13 Average (lb) 16.3 15.9 16.3 16.2 16.1 15.9 16.2 15.9 15.9 16.0 15.5 15.8 Day 15 4 17 19 20 21 10 23 24 12 a) Establish a control chart for monitoring the average weights of the bowling balls in which the upper and lower control limits are each two standard deviations from the mean.

Explanation / Answer

From the given data,

Sum of average weights for 24 days = 384

Therefore , Xbar-bar = Average of Average weights = 384/24 = 16

Given.

Sample size = n = 9 bowling balls

Standard deviation in weight of bowling ball = Sd = 0.12

Answer to question a :

Upper control Limit = Xbar-Bar + 2 x Sd/ Square root ( n)

Lower Control Limit = Xbar-bar – 2 x Sd / Square root ( n )

Therefore ,

Upper control Limit

= 16 + 2 x 0.12/ Square root ( 9)

= 16 + 0.24/3

= 16 + 0.08

= 16.08

Lower Control Limit

= 16 - 2 x 0.12/ Square root ( 9)

= 16 - 0.24/3

= 16 - 0.08

= 15.92

UPPER CONTROL LIMIT = 16.08

LOWER CONTROL LIMIT = 15.92

Answer to question b:

If criteria of 3 standard deviation I/O 2 standard deviation is used, the spread will become more and hence value of UCL will increase and value of LCL will decrease

The revised control limits as follows :

Upper control Limit = Xbar-Bar + 3 x Sd/ Square root ( n)

Lower Control Limit = Xbar-bar – 3 x Sd / Square root ( n )

Therefore ,

Upper control Limit

= 16 + 3 x 0.12/ Square root ( 9)

= 16 + 0.36/3

= 16 + 0.12

= 16.12

Lower Control Limit

= 16 - 3 x 0.12/ Square root ( 9)

= 16 - 0.36/3

= 16 - 0.12

= 15.88

UPPER CONTROL LIMIT = 16.12

LOWER CONTROL LIMIT = 15.88

UPPER CONTROL LIMIT = 16.08

LOWER CONTROL LIMIT = 15.92
