1. Data for use in constructing a control chart have been collected on the weight of a bottle of medicine. Six samples were collected early in the morning and measured as follows:

Time Weight in grams
9:00 AM 50 46 51 47
9:15 AM 44 46 47 46
9:30 AM 49 46 47 50
9:45 AM 48 47 49 44
10:00 AM 48 52 48 49
10:15 AM 49 45 47 45

Determine the upper and lower control limits for a (three-sigma) X chart. Show all your work.

Upper control limit = ___________

Lower control limit = __________

2. Control charts are being used to monitor a process that takes a certain amount of time. The control limits for an X chart and an R chart have already been calculated. For the X chart, the upper control limit is 12.2 seconds and the lower control limit is 11.8 seconds. For the R chart, the upper control limit is 0.7 seconds and the lower control limit is 0 seconds.
