Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The upper control limit (UCL) for a p chart is calculated using the formula: UCL = p̄ + z * sqrt((p̄(1-p̄))/n), where p̄ is the average proportion defective, z is the z-value for the desired confidence level, and n is the sample size. Without specific values for p̄, z, and n, we assume the correct answer is based on typical calculations or given data in Scenario 19-2.
