Problem:
The school board is trying to evaluate a new math program introduced to second-graders in five elementary schools across the county this year. A sample of the student scores on standardized math tests in each elementary school yielded the following data:
SCHOOL NO. OF TEST ERRORS
A 52
B 27
C 35
D 44
E 55
Required:
Construct a c-chart for test errors, and set the control limits to contain 99.73% of the random variation in test scores. What does the chart tell you? Has the new math program been effective?
Solve the given numerical problem and illustrate step by step calculation.
