8.22 The thickness (in millimeters) of the coating ap- plied to disk drives is one characteristic that determines the usefulness of the product. When no unusual circum- stances are present, the thickness (x) has a normal distri- bution with a mean of 2 mm and a standard deviation of
0.05 mm. Suppose that the process will be monitored by selecting a random sample of 16 drives from each shift’s production and determining x, the mean coating thick- ness for the sample.
a.
Describe the sampling distribution of x (for a sample of size 16).

When no unusual circumstances are present, we ex- pect x to be within 3sx of 2 mm, the desired value. An x value farther from 2 than 3sx is interpreted as an indication of a problem that needs attention. Compute 2 6 3sx. (A plot over time of x values with horizontal lines drawn at the limits m 6 3sx is called a process control chart.)
c.
Referring to Part (b), what is the probability that a sample mean will be outside 2 6 3sx just by chance (that is, when there are no unusual circumstances)?

d. Suppose that a machine used to apply the coating is out of adjustment, resulting in a mean coating thickness of 2.05 mm. What is the probability that a
problem will be detected when the next sample is taken? (Hint: This will occur if x . 2 1 3sx or x , 2 2 3sx when m = 2.05.)
