ASSIGNMENT ON STATISTICAL PROCESS

CONTROL
Instruction: Please read the following problem carefully. Show your solution; the answer should be in 2-
3 decimal places. (3 items x 10 points):
1. The process of filling small bottles with baby formula has a target of 3 ounces ± 0.150 ounces. Two
hundred (200) bottles from the process were sampled. The results showed the average amount of
formula placed in the bottles to be 3.042 ounces. The standard deviation of the amounts was 0.034
ounces. Determine the value of 𝐶𝑝𝑘. Roughly what proportion of bottles meet the specifications?

2. Houston North Hospital is trying to improve its image by providing a positive experience for its
patients and their relatives. Part of the “image” program involves providing tasty, inviting patient
meals that are also healthful. A questionnaire accompanies each meal served, asking the patient,
among other things, whether s/he is satisfied or unsatisfied with the meal. A 100-patient sample of
the survey results over the past seven (7) days yielded the following data:
Day No. of Unsatisfied Patients Sample Size
1 24 100
2 22 100
3 8 100
4 15 100
5 10 100
6 26 100
7 17 100

3. A process considered to be in control measures an ingredient in ounces. Below are the last ten
samples (each of size 𝑛 = 5 ) taken. The population process standard deviation, 𝜎, is 1.36.
