Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the appropriate control chart for monitoring the number of scratches on Plexiglass panels, we need to consider the type of data and the nature of the measurement. Since we are counting the number of defects (scratches) on a single unit (panel), a c-chart, which is used for monitoring the count of defects per unit, is appropriate.
Step 1: Identify the Type of Data
The problem involves monitoring the number of scratches on Plexiglass panels. This is a count of defects on a single unit, which is a type of discrete data.
Step 2: Determine the Appropriate Control Chart
For monitoring the count of defects per unit, the appropriate control chart is a c-chart. A c-chart is specifically designed for situations where you are counting the number of defects in a fixed sample size.
