Regarding control charts, changing from two-sigma limits to three-sigma limits: A. decreases the probability that the process av
erage will change. B. increases the probability of concluding nothing has changed, when in fact it has. C. decreases the probability that defects will be generated by the process. D. does not change the probability of making type I or type II errors. E. increases the probability of searching for a cause when none exists.
Changing from Two-sigmalimits to three-sigma limits helps to reduce the probability that defects will be generated by the process. Hence the correct answer is C.
<h3>What is a Two-Sigma Limit?</h3>
This is used to refer to the inclusion of about ninety-five percent of data plotted on the normal distribution curve.
Three sigma-limit on the other hand is a statistical calculation where data fall within three standard deviations from a mean.
If in a manufacturing firm, the quality control unit issues out a polity to reject products that are within two standard deviations to their accepted mean, then more errors will be captured thus resulting in a lot of loss or defective products.
