Question
Define R chart
Advertisements
Solution
The R chart is used to show the variability or dispersion of the samples taken from the given process.
R charts are also required for decision-making to accept of rejecting the process.
Procedure for R-Charts
Calculate R = Xmax – Xmin
Let R1, R2, R3 ………….. be the ranges of the “n” samples.
The average range is given by `bar"X" = (sum"R")/"n"`

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 |
