A design engineer wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling the service life of a halogen headlamp his company produces. He knows from numerous previous samples that when this service life is in control it is normally distributed with a mean of 500 hours and a standard deviation of 20 hours. On three recent production batches, he tested service life on random samples of four headlamps, with these results:
\table[[Sample,Service Life (hours)],[1,495,500,505,500],[2,525,515,505,515],[3,470,480,460,470]]
What is the mean of the sample ranges, i.e.,"R-bar"?
20 hours
10 hours
25 hours
5 hours
16.6 hours
