QUESTION:
Problem 38E
In each of the following cases, use the sample size formula to determine a sample size large enough to avoid constructing
a p-chart with a negative lower control limit.

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Sample-Size Determination for Monitoring a Process Proportion:
Choose n such that
Where
n = Sample size
= An estimate of the process proportion p
Our objective is to determine large sample enough to avoid constructing a p-chart with a
negative lower control limit.
