ABSTRACT

No. All of the new measurements are within the control limits. 16.11 For each of the sampling times, we will compute the sample mean pin lengths

and the sample ranges.

d. The Defense Department’s specification is that the firing pins be 1.00 0.08± or from 0.92 to 1.08. Since all of the sample means are well within this range, the manufacturing process appears to be in control.
