qcr (version 1.4)

circuit: Circuit boards data

Description

Number of nonconformities observed in 26 successive samples of 100 printed circuit boards. Sample 6 and 20 are out of control limits. Sample 6 was examined by a new inspector and he did not recognize several type of nonconformities that could have been present. Furthermore, the unusually large number of nonconformities in sample 20 resulted from a temperature control problem in the wave soldering machine, which was subsequentely repaired. The last 20 samples are further samples collected on inspection units (each formed by 100 boards).

Format

A data frame with 46 observations on the following 4 variables:

x

number of defectives in 100 printed circuit boards (inspection unit)

sample

sample ID

size

sample size

trial

trial sample indicator (TRUE/FALSE)
