consecutive points falling on one side of the centerline When the process is in statistical control‚ find the false alarm probability (Type-I error) for each case. The corresponding probability measures are obtained from the Normal table as P(3 " Z) = 0.00135 P(2 " Z) = 0.02275 P(1 " Z) = 0.1587 Solution: ! i) Use the Binomial distribution to ! calculate the probability measures. ! 3! 3! P(Y ! 2 n = 3‚ p = 0.02275) = (0.02275)2 (1" 0.02275) + (0.02275)3 = 0.00153 2!1! 3!0! Type-1
