Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control. Assuming the process standard deviation is .50 and the mean of the process is the estimate calculated in Question 1, determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.

Question:

A local mattress manufacturer wants to know if its manufacturing process is in or out of control and has hired you, a statistics expert in the field, to analyze its process. Specifically, the business has run 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month and has determined the mean of each sample.

95.7295.4495.495.595.5695.7295.695.2495.4695.44 95.895.294.8295.7895.1895.3295.0895.2295.0495.48

a. Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control.

b. Assuming the process standard deviation is .50 and the mean of the process is the estimate calculated in Question 1, determine the Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process.

c. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.

$Mean = \bar{x} = 95.4$

$(LCL, \: UCL) = (94.73, \: 96.07)$

The mean of the 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month lies between the obtained control limit of (94.73, 96.07) therefore, the process is in control.

Explanation:

a. Determine the estimate of the mean when the process is in control.

The mean is given by

$Mean = \bar{x} = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

Where n = 20 samples

Using Excel,

=AVERAGE(number1, number2,....)

The mean is found to be

$Mean = \bar{x} = 95.4$

The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is given by

$UCL = \bar{x} + \frac{3 \cdot s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where $\bar{x}$ is the mean, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of random samples that is 5 (not 20)

$UCL = 95.4 + \frac{3 \times 0.50}{\sqrt{5} } \\\\UCL = 95.4 + 0.671 \\\\UCL = 96.07$

The Lower Control Limit (UCL) is given by

$LCL = \bar{x} - \frac{3 \cdot s}{\sqrt{n} }$

$LCL = 95.4 - \frac{3 \times 0.50}{\sqrt{5} } \\\\LCL = 95.4 - 0.671 \\\\LCL = 94.73$

So the control limits are

$(LCL, \: UCL) = (94.73, \: 96.07)$

c. Explain the results to the vice-president of the mattress manufacturer focusing on whether, based on the results, the process is in or out of control.

The process is in control based on the obtained results.

The mean of the 20 random samples of size 5 over the past month lies between the obtained control limit of (94.73, 96.07) therefore, the process is in control.

Alandowner entered into a written agreement with a real estate broker whereby the broker would receive a commission of 10% of the sale price if he procured a "ready, willing, and able buyer" for the landowner's property and if the sale actually proceeded through closing. the broker found a buyer who agreed in writing to buy the property from the landowner for $100,000, the landowner's asking price. the buyer put up $6,000 as a down payment. the agreement between the landowner and the buyer contained a liquidated damages clause providing that, if the buyer defaulted by failing to tender the balance due of $94,000 at the closing date, damages would be 10% of the purchase price. the landowner included that clause because she was counting on using the proceeds of the sale for a business venture that would likely net her at least $10,000. the buyer became seriously ill and defaulted. when he recovered, he demanded that the landowner return his $6,000, and the landowner refused. the broker also demanded the $6,000 from the landowner and was refused. the broker and the buyer filed separate suits against the landowner, with the buyer pleading impossibility of performance. the two cases are consolidated into a single case. how should the court rule as to the disposition of the $6,000?
