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)
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 |
