A company wishes to set control limits for monitoring the direct labour time to produce an important product. Over the past the mean time has been 20 hours with a standard deviation of 5 hours and is believed to be normally distributed. The company proposes to collect random samples of 64 observations to monitor labour time.
1. If management wishes to establish x-bar control limits covering the 95% confidence interval, calculate the appropriate UCL and LCL.
2. If management wishes to use smaller samples of 9 observations calculate the control limits covering the 95% confidence interval.

To raise the time above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough to...
