a) Standard deviation of the sampling means = 0.5370.537 ounces (round your response to three decimal places).
b)with x=3, the control limits for the mean chart are: UCLx=? ounces (round your response to three decimals) LCLx=? ounces(round your response to three decimals)
c) the control limits for the R-chart are: UCLr=? ounces (round your response to three decimals) LCLr =?ounces (round your response to three decimals)
d) Based on the x-chart, is one or more samples beyond the control limits? Yes or no
