Define a control chart

Solution
A control chart is essentially a graphic device for presenting data so as to directly reveal the frequency and extent of variations from established standards or goals.
Control charts are simple to construct and easy to interpret and they tell the manager at a glance whether or not the process is in control, i.e within the tolerance limits.

A machine is set to deliver packets of a given weight. Ten samples of size five each were recorded. Below are given relevant data:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 15 | 17 | 15 | 18 | 17 | 14 | 18 | 15 | 1 | 16 |
| R | 7 | 7 | 4 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 12 | 4 | 11 | 5 |
Calculate the control limits for mean chart and the range chart and then comment on the state of control, (conversion factors for n = 5, A2 = 0.58, D3 = 0 and D4 = 2.115)
Ten samples each of size five are drawn at regular intervals from a manufacturing process. The sample means `(bar"X")` and their ranges (R) are given below:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 49 | 45 | 48 | 53 | 39 | 47 | 46 | 39 | 51 | 45 |
| R | 7 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 5 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 6 |
Calculate the control limits in respect of `bar"X"` chart. (Given A2 = 0.58, D3 = 0 and D4 = 2.115) Comment on the state of control
Construct `bar"X"` and R charts for the following data:
| Sample Number | Observations | ||

| 6 | 50 | 29 | 21 |
| 7 | 44 | 52 | 35 |
| 8 | 22 | 35 | 44 |
