Exercise No. 2 ― Control Charts for Attributes
Q1) Determine the trial central line and control limits for a p chart using
the following data, which are for the payment of dental insurance claims.
Plot the values on graph paper and determine if the process is stable. If
there are any out-of-control points, assume an assignable cause and
determine the revised central line and control limits.

Q2) The performance of the first shift is reflected in the inspection results
of electric carving knives. Determine the trial central line and control
limits for each subgroup. Assume that any out-of-control points have
assignable causes and determine the standard value for the fraction
nonconforming for the next production period.

Q3) The count of surface nonconformities in 1000 m2 of 20-kg kraft paper
is given in the following table. Determine the trial central line and control
limits and the revised central line and control limits, assuming that out-of-
control points have assignable causes.

Q5) Assuming that a 10:5:1 demerit weighting system is used, determine
the central line and control limits when 𝑢𝑐 = 0.11, 𝑢𝑚𝑎 = 0.70, 𝑢𝑚𝑖 =
4.00, and 𝑛 = 50. If the subgroup inspection results for a particular day
are 1 critical, 35 major, and 110 minor nonconformities, determine if the
results are in control or out of control.
