# Given that
T=2.6#in mm wall thickness
USL=3.2#in mm upper specification limit 
LSL=2.#in mm lower specification limit 
Y=2.6#in mm mean
s=0.2#in mm standard deviation
C1=10.#in dollar shipping included cost
C2=50000.#in dollars improvement cost
n=10000.#sections of tube per month
# Sample Problem on page no. 978
