Quality Control Measurements

Use the production data to compare the average weight and consistency of the two batches. Show your working for calculations. All weights are in grams (g).

Repeated readings and variation

Taking several readings of the same property under the same conditions can help distinguish measurement variation from differences between items in a batch.

1.A technician weighs the same container three times using the same scale and method. What term describes this set of repeated readings?
  • Replicate measurements
  • Different properties
  • Item-to-item variation
  • A change in the target value
2.A factory compares the weights of several jars made in the same batch. Differences from jar to jar are called what?
  • Replicate readings
  • Item-to-item variation
  • A target measurement
  • Scale resolution
3.Which factors could lead to differences between items made in one production batch? Select every suitable option.
  • Variations in the raw materials
  • Changes in the production process
  • Wear on production equipment
  • Differences in how operators do a task
4.Give one reason a quality-control team might take several readings instead of relying on a single reading.

Compare two production batches

A New Zealand snack producer aims for a packet mass of 200 g. The quality team weighs five packets from each batch.

5.Using the five packet masses for Batch A, calculate the mean mass.
6.Using the five packet masses for Batch B, calculate the mean mass.
7.Find the range of packet masses for Batch A. Show the subtraction you use.
8.Find the range of packet masses for Batch B. Show the subtraction you use.
9.Which batch had more consistent packet masses? Use both batches' ranges to support your answer.

Make a quality-control decision

The producer accepts packets weighing from 196 g to 204 g, inclusive.

10.Using the packet-mass table, identify every packet that falls outside the acceptable range of 196 g to 204 g.
11.Recommend one practical action the producer should take after seeing these results. Explain how your action could help.
12.Explain how taking several measurements across a batch can help a quality team spot a manufacturing problem.
