Three events A, B and C are such that P( A) = 1 / 3 />(0 = 5 / 7 and P(AUB)- 1 /2.
Find:
(a)-P(B),if A and B are mutually exclusive
(b) P(B),if A and B are independent.
(c) P(AflC),if A and C are exhaustive

In its quality control procedures, a firm sets the warning limit at the 0.025 probability point and the action limit at
the 0.001 probability point. This means for example that the upper action line is set so that the probability that the
mean exceeds this line is 0.001. The length of a product is normally distributed with a mean length of 100 cm and a
known standard deviation of 0.4 cm. to check on the process, samples of 6 products are taken from the production
line.
(a) Draw a control chart to monitor the production process
(b) The first ten samples had the following mean length in cm.
100.3 ; 99.8 ; 99.9 ; 100.4 ; 100.2 ; 99.7 ; 99.6 ; 99.7 ; 99.6 ; 99.4
Plot these values on your control chart and comment on the result
