Zipper Products samples eight boxes of granola cereal per batch to check weight. The average weight per sample is 17 ounces with a range of 0.5 ounce. To determine if the batches are in control, the volunteer calculates the upper and lower control limits. The upper limit is 17.1865 ounces and the lower is 16.8135 ounces. Any average outside these limits would suggest the process is not in control.

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
