• B) (112.7, 522.9)
• C) (2.8, 6.0)
• D) (11.1, 21.2)

Understand how the standard error of the sample proportion affects the calculation of control limits.

Understand the concept and calculation of standard error in the context of sampling distributions.

Grasp the application and interpretation of control charts in quality control processes.

Recognize the conditions under which the sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be approximated by a normal distribution.
