Question 2:The thickness (mm) of the coating applied to disk drives is a characteristic that determines the usefulness of the product. When no unusual circumstances are present, the thicknessXhas a normal distribution with meanµ= 3 mm and standard deviations=.05 mm. Suppose that the coating process will be monitored by selecting a random sample of 16 drives from each shift’s production and determiningX ¯, the sample mean coating.
(a) (3 marks). Describe the sampling distribution ofX ¯.
(b) (1 mark). When no unusual circumstances are present, we expectX ¯to be within 3sX ¯of 3 mm, the desired coating thickness value. A value of X ¯farther from 3 than 3sX ¯is interpreted as an indication of a problem that needs attention. Compute 3±3sX ¯. (A plot over time of values of X ¯with horizontal lines drawn at the limitsµ±3sX ¯is called a process control chart.)

(c) (2 marks). Referring to part (b), what is the probability thatX ¯will be outside 3±3sX ¯just by chance (that is, when there are no unusual circumstances)?
(d) (2 marks). Suppose that a machine used to apply the coating is out of adjustment, resulting in a mean coating thickness of 3.05 mm. What is the probability that a problem will be detected when the next sample is taken? (Hint:This will occur ifX ¯>3+3sX ¯orX ¯
