Resistors forelectronic circuits are manufactured on a high-speed automatedmachine. The machine is set up to produce a large run of resistorsof 1,000 ohms each. Use Exhibit 10.13.
     To set up the machine and to create acontrol chart to be used throughout the run, 15 samples were takenwith four resistors in each sample. The complete list of samplesand their measured values are as follows: Use three-sigma controllimits.
