Lard-O potato chips guarantees that all snack-sized bags of chips are between 16 and 17 ounces. The machine that fills the bags has an output with a mean of 16.5 and a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces. Construct a control chart for the Lard-O example using 3 sigma limits if samples of size 5 are randomly selected from the process. The center line is . The standard deviation of the sample mean is . The UCL

- The center line is at 16.5 ounces.

- The standard deviation of the sample mean = 0.112 ounce.

- The UCL = 16.836 ounces.

- The LCL = 16.154 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central limit theorem allows us to write for a random sample extracted from a normal population distribution with each variable independent of one another that

Mean of sampling distribution (μₓ) is approximately equal to the population mean (μ).

μₓ = μ = 16.5 ounces

And the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is given as

σₓ = (σ/√N)

where σ = population standard deviation = 0.25 ounce

N = Sample size = 5

σₓ = (0.25/√5) = 0.1118033989 = 0.112 ounce

Now using the 3 sigma limit rule that 99.5% of the distribution lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean, the entire distribution lies within

(μₓ ± 3σₓ)

= 16.5 ± (3×0.112)

= 16.5 ± (0.336)

= (16.154, 16.836)
