QUESTION 7
A design engineer wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling the service life of a halogen headlamp his company produces. He knows from numerous previous samples that this service life is normally distributed with a mean of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours.

sample 1
sample 2
sample 3
both samples 2 and 3
all samples are in control
