Question
The following data show the values of sample means and the ranges for ten samples of size 4 each. Construct the control chart for mean and range chart and determine whether the process is in control.
| Sample Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 29 | 26 | 37 | 34 | 14 | 45 | 39 | 20 | 34 | 23 |
| R | 39 | 10 | 39 | 17 | 12 | 20 | 05 | 21 | 23 | 15 |

Solution
| Sample Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Total |
| `bar"X"` | 29 | 26 | 37 | 34 | 14 | 45 | 39 | 20 | 34 | 23 | 301 |
| R | 39 | 10 | 39 | 17 | 12 | 20 | 05 | 21 | 23 | 15 | 201 |
Let us A2 = 0.729, D4 = 2.282 and D3 = 0
The control limits for `bar"X"` chart is
`\overset{==}{"X"} = (sumbar"X")/"No. of samples" = 301/10` = 30.1
`bar"R" = (sum"R")/"No. of samples" = 201/10` = 20.1
UCL = `\overset{==}{"X"} - "A"_2 bar"R"`
= 30.1 +(0.73)(20.1)
= 30.1 + 14.673 = 44.773
= 44.77
CL = `\overset{==}{"X"}` = 30.1
LCL = `\overset{==}{"X"} - "A"_2 bar"R"`
= 30.1 – (0.73) (20.1)
= 30.1 – 14.673 = 15.427
= 15.43
The control limits for Range chart is
UCL = `"D"_4 bar"R"`
= 2.28(20.1) = 45.828
= 45.83
CL = `bar"R"` = 20.1
LCL = `"D"_3 bar"R"` = 0(20.1) = 0
