Question 1:

Given the following 20 samples with 50 units each. Calculate the control limits for the u-
chart and plot it.

Question 2

Consider a single sampling plan. Suppose the products are shipped from the producer to
the buyer in 300-product lots. They agree that a 5% rate of defectives is acceptable and a
15% rate of defectives is unacceptable. For each lot, the following sampling plan is used:
10 products are sampled, if more than 1 are found defective, the lot is rejected.
Calculate the consumer’s risk and the producer’s risk.

Question 3

Suppose we have a series-parallel system (each subsystem is a parallel system) with 3

subsystems. Subsystem A has 3 components (a1, a2, a3), Subsystem B has 2 components
(b1, b2), and Subsystem C has 4 components (c1, c2, c3, c4). Suppose the reliability of a
component in subsystem A is Ra=0.9, the reliability of a component in subsystem B is
Rb=0.7, and the reliability of a component in subsystem C is Rc=0.5.

(1) Draw the RBD for this system.

(2) Calculate the system reliability
