TOTAL = 1587.2 Total = 37.4

Number of tubes = 4
So, number of observations in each sample = 4

X-double bar = ( ∑ X-bar)/Number of samples

X-double bar = 1587.2 / 25
X-double bar = 63.488

R-bar = ( ∑Range)/Number of samples

R-bar = 37.4 / 25
R-bar = 1.496

(A) UCLX = X-double bar + A2*R-bar

LCLX = X-double bar - A2*R-bar

# Using mean factor table, value of A2 = 0.729 for 4 observations.

UCLX = X-double bar + A2R

UCLX = 63.488 + (0.729*1.496)
UCLX = 64.58

LCLX = X-double bar A2R

LCLX = 63.488 - (0.729*1.496)
LCLX = 62.40
(B) CORRECT GRAPH FOR SAMPLE DATA FOR THE XBAR CHART IS
GRAPH A.

Rationale: Graphs B and C show values of a few sample of X-bar above 64 but
no sample has value greater than 64.

(C) UCLR = D4*R-bar

LCLR = D3*R-bar

# Using mean factor table, value of D4 = 2.282 and D3 = 0 for 4 observations.

UCLR = D4*R-bar
UCLR = 2.282*1.496
UCLR = 3.41

LCLR = D3*R-bar
LCLR = 0*1.496
LCLR = 0

(D) CORRECT GRAPH OF SAMPLE DATA FOR R-CHART IS GRAPH A.

Rationale: The range of 1st sample is 2.0 and range of 2nd sample is 1.0 and only
GRAPH A satisfies it.

(E) Since all the sample value for x-bar chart and R-chart lie within the range of
upper and lower control limits, therefore, the PROCESS IS IN CONTROL.
