TRUE or FALSE

FALSE 1. The two categories of quality control measurements are attribute and distribute.
TRUE 2. One of the list in Interpreting Patterns in Control Chart is the points seem to fall
randomly above and below the center line.
TRUE 3. Statistical Process Control is a methodology for monitoring a process to identify
special causes of variation and signaling the need to take corrective actions when it is
appropriate.
TRUE 4. Variables data are continuous. Variables measurements are concerned with the
degree of conformance to specifications.
FALSE 5. Cycles is unusual number of consecutive points falling one side of the center line are
usually an indication that the process average has suddenly shifted.
TRUE 6. Instability is characterized by unnatural and erratic fluctuations on both sides of the
chart over a period of time. Points will often lie outside both the upper and lower
control limits without a consistent pattern.
FALSE 7. Modified control limits often are used when process capability is bad.
FALSE 8. O-chart monitors the proportion of nonconforming items produced in a lot. Often it is
also called a fraction nonconforming or fraction defective chart.
FALSE 9. C-chart is used to control the average number of defects per unit when subgroup
sizes are variable.
TRUE 10. There are four issues in designers of control charts.
TRUE 11. The location of control limits is closely related to the risk involved in making an
incorrect assessment about the state of control.
TRUE 12. A good sampling method should have the property that, if assignable causes are
present, the chance of observing differences between samples is high, while the chance
of observing differences within a sample is low.
TRUE 13. Sample design is the second critical design issue. A small sample size is desirable to
minimize the opportunity for within-sample variation due to special causes.
TRUE 14. The location of control limits is closely related to the risk involved in making an
incorrect assessment about the state of control.
TRUE 15. Samples should be close enough to provide an opportunity to detect changes in
process characteristics as soon as possible and reduce the chances of producing a large
amount of nonconforming output.
