Question
Define chance cause
Advertisements
Solution
These are small variations which are natural and inherent in the manufacturing process.
The variation occurring due to these causes is beyond the human control and cannot be prevented or eliminated under any circumstances
The minor causes which do not affect the quality of the products to an extent are called as Chance causes or Random causes.
For example Rain, floods, power cuts, etc.

What are the uses of statistical quality control?
A machine is set to deliver packets of a given weight. Ten samples of size five each were recorded. Below are given relevant data:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 15 | 17 | 15 | 18 | 17 | 14 | 18 | 15 | 1 | 16 |
| R | 7 | 7 | 4 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 12 | 4 | 11 | 5 |
Calculate the control limits for mean chart and the range chart and then comment on the state of control, (conversion factors for n = 5, A2 = 0.58, D3 = 0 and D4 = 2.115)
In a production process, eight samples of size 4 are collected and their means and ranges are given below. Construct mean chart and range chart with control limits.
| Samples number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| `bar"X"` | 12 | 13 | 11 | 12 | 14 | 13 | 16 | 15 |
| R | 2 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
