    This document contains solutions to two problems from an in-class quiz on quality improvement methods. The first problem involves matching confidence intervals at different significance levels (α = 0.1, 0.05, 0.01) to piston ring diameter measurements. The second problem determines whether a binomial approximation can be used to calculate acceptance probabilities for lots of piston rings under different sampling sizes.
