question 80

Essay

At a certain manufacturing plant, a machine produces ball bearings that should have a diameter of 0.500 mm. If the machine produces ball bearings that are either too small or too large, the ball bearings must be scrapped. Every hour, a quality control manager takes a random sample of 36 ball bearings to test to see if the process is "out of control" (i.e. to test to see if the average diameter differs from 0.500 mm).
