2. In the production of shampoo it has long been speculated that the pH level is a major factor in controlling the color of the product. The following data were obtained by sampling several batches and determining their pH and their "B-color." Interpret the data. Construct a scatter plot and calculate the correlation coefficient.

3. Among the 120 defects from a lens-polishing operation, we found 12 lenses with incorrect dimensions, 33 scarred lenses, 8 cracked lenses, 15 unfinished lenses, 44 poorly coated lenses, and 8 where the defect could not be classified ("other"). Construct a Pareto diagram. Assuming that each type of defect is equally costly, which defect would you
attack first?

The sequence chart suggests that the percent yields are varying around the value 75. Thus 75 can be considered as the mean yield.
