A cell phone manufacturer inspects the video display on each color phone to verify that the screen can display all colors with the brilliance their customers have come to expect. Each phone is turned on, run through a self-test procedure, and classified as either acceptable or unacceptable based on test performance. Based on historical data, the manufacturer produces 0.1 percent defective displays. If they inspect 5000 phones each day for the next 10 days, what are the upper and lower control limits for their three sigma control chart if their sample mean mirrors their historical process average?
A)0.0002, 0.0001
B)0.0142, 0.0058
C)0.0127, 0.0058
D)0.0023, 0.0000
E)0.0000, 0.0000

The control limits for a three sigma control chart are calculated using the formula: p ± 3√(p(1-p)/n), where p is the historical defect rate (0.001) and n is the sample size (5000). Calculating this gives the upper limit as 0.0023 and the lower limit as 0.0000.
