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.
