 p chart - Problem statement
A optical CD has many quality attributes
which are necessary to be up to the mark for
being used by customer. The CD
manufacturer is plagued with lot of non
conforming CDs during the manufacturing
process. It is suggested to use control charts
to statistically control the process. Data for
defective CDs from 20 samples (sample size
n = 100) are shown in the next slide.
Use appropriate control chart and recommend
control limits.
