Analyzing a Type 1 Gage study

A Type 1 Gage study is used to evaluate the bias and repeatability of a measurement device by repeatedly measuring a known reference sample a number of times. By comparing the measurements recorded to the reference, we can evaluate the bias and repeatability of the measurement system. This can be compared to the tolerance to check if the variation in the measurement device is small enough to be acceptable.

In this study, we will look at measurements on fill volumes. A known volume of 15 ml is measured 20 times. The specifications for the process are 14.25 and 15.75. The worksheet Type 1 Gage.mtw contains 20 measurements on this syringe in the Measure column.
