Question:

Consider the influenza data in Exercise 15-84. Use μ =160 and σ = 2.

(a) Construct an EWMA control chart with λ = 0.1. Use L = 2.81. Does the process appear to be in control?

(b) Construct an EWMA control chart with λ = 0.5. Use L = 3.07. Compare your results to those in part (a).


Exercise 15-84

The number of influenza patients (in thousands) visiting hospitals weekly is shown in the following table. Suppose that the standard deviation is σ = 2 and the target value is 160.


Number of Sample Number of Patients Sample Patients 162.27 1 13 159.989 157.47 14 159.09 3 157.065 15 162.699 160.45 16
