BLANCAS, AUBREY D.

SESSION 3: VOLUNTEER EXERCISE

15-10. Zipper Products, Inc., produces granola cereal, granola bars, and other natural 
food products. Its natural granola cereal is sampled to ensure proper weight. Each 
sample contains eight boxes of cereal. The overall average for the samples is 17 
ounces. The range is only 0.5 ounce. Determine the upper and lower control-chart 
limits for averages for the boxes of cereal.
So x=17 , A2=0.373 , R=0.5 and the control limits are:
UC Lx =x + A2 R=17+ 0.373 ( 0.5 )=17+ 0.1865=17.1865 ounces

LC L x =x−A 2 R=17−0.373 ( 0.5 )=17−0.1865=16.8135 ounces
