Historically, student advising in the College of Business at Tech was done by faculty in the individual departments that housed a stu- dent's major. However, the College received poor advising ratings on national student surveys that rank business schools, which caused the College to have a low ranking. In order to remedy this prob- lem the College centralized its advising activity in the Dean's office using full-time, trained advisors. After a transition period the advis- ing office sampled 50 students every week during a semester using a brief in-class survey in classes selected randomly. Any survey that indicated an advising problem was considered one defect. The semes- ter-long survey resulted in 68 total defects.

a. Using this result, develop a p-chart for advising defects using 3 control limits.

b. Given the following survey results for a subsequent semester, indicate if the process is in control:

Week	Number of Defects	Week	Number of Defects
1	7	9	4
2	5	10	6
3	4	11	9
4	8	12	3
5	10	13	8
6	6	14	7
7	9	15	7
8	3
