152. Factory A produces 100 pieces of wooden legs used in manufacturing tables in 1 hour. The factory in total works for 3 hours. The quality manager decided to check the quality of the output by measuring the length of the legs (in cms). He decides to collect three samples (one for each hour). The sample size for each sample is fixed at 5. The data collected is present in the following table:

Leg 1 Leg 2 Leg 3 Leg 4 Leg 5
Sample 1 10.2 10.5 9.8 9.7 10.3
Sample 2 10.4 9.9 10.1 10.2 9.8
Sample 3 9.9 9.8 10.2 10.1 10.4

What is the mean and range of leg length in sample 1?

  1. Mean=10.3;Range=.3
  2. Mean=10.1;Range=.8
  3. Mean=10.2;Range=.6
  4. Mean=9.9;Range=.5
Correct answer: (B)
Mean=10.1;Range=.8

153. If we want to detect small process shifts using x bar chart, we should use a sample size of:

  1. Less than 5
  2. 5-10
  3. 10-15
  4. 15-25
Correct answer: (D)
15-25

154. The parameters of s2 chart is specified using:

  1. Normal Distribution
  2. Geometric Distribution
  3. Binomial Distribution

155. The focal point of all quality control should be:

  1. Price focus
  2. Cost Focus
  3. Customer Focus
  4. Manufacturing Focus
Correct answer: (C)
Customer Focus

  2. Sample size, Frequency of sampling, Number of defects
  3. Sample size, Specification limit, process standard deviation
  4. Sample size, Process mean, specification limit
Correct answer: (A)
Sample size, Frequency of sampling, specification limit
