Since the sample size is constant at 100 pumps for each sample and the quality characteristic is the number of defectives, a p-chart is the suitable control chart. The total number of defective pumps observed in the 15 samples is 5 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 1 = 53. The total number of pumps inspected is 15 × 100 = 1500. The average fraction defective is p̄ = 53
