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.    Â
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.    Â
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.)
