Given asphalt content test data: a. Calculate the overall mean and standard deviation for the entire test period.
b. The contract specifications require an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% every day. Plot the daily average asphalt content. Show upper and lower control limits.
c. Do all of these samples meet the contract specifications? Explain your answer.
d. What trend do you observe based on the data? What could cause this trend?"

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

A) overall mean = 5.535,  standard deviation ≈ 0.3239

B ) upper limit = 5.85, lower limit = 5.0

C) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications

D) fluctuation ( unstable Asphalt content )

Explanation:

B) The daily average asphalt content has to obtained in order to determine the upper and lower control limits using an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% everyday

The upper limit : 14 may = ( 5.8 + 5.1 ) / 2 = 5.85

The lower limit : 16 may = ( 5.2 + 4.8 ) / 2 = 5.0

attached below is the required plot

C ) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications and the samples that do not meet up are samples from :

15 may and 16 may . this is because their Asphalt contents are 6.2 and 4.8 respectively and sample number 18 and 20

D ) what can be observed is that the ASPHALT content fluctuates between the dates while the contract specification is fixed

can you make it more obvious. i can't see it properly
