(choose chapter or problem)

   

An extrusion die is used to produce aluminum rods. The diameter of the rods is a critical quality characteristic. The following table shows \(\bar{x} \text { and } r\) values for 20 samples of five rods each. Specifications on the rods are \(0.5035 \pm 0.0010 \text { inch }\). The values given are the last three digits of the measurement; that is, 34.2 is read as 0.50342.

(a) Using all the data, find trial control limits for \(\bar{X} \text { and } R\) charts, construct the chart, and plot the data.

(b) Use the trial control limits from part (a) to identify out-of-control points. If necessary, revise your control limits, assuming that any samples that plot outside the control lim-its can be eliminated. Estimate \(\sigma\).
