In order to set up control charts, 10 samples of 50 bills each were taken over a month’s time and the items on the bills checked against the bill of lading sent by the company’s shipping department to determine the number of bills that were not correct. The results are 6, 5, 11, 4, 0, 5, 3, 4, 7, and 2.a) Determine upper and lower control limits for the process, using a 99.73% confidence level. Is this process in control? Why?
