b.

23

c.

20.6

d.

e.

21

Calculate 3 upper and lower control limits for the Mean.

a. UCL = 23.05; LCL = 18.15

b. UCL = 26.6; LCL = 14.6

c. UCL = 22.64; LCL = 18.56

d. UCL = 22.21; LCL = 18.98

e. UCL = 23.7; LCL = 17.5

Is this process in control?

a. Monday sample is above the UCL; all others are within limits. The process is not in control.

b. Tuesday sample is above the UCL; all others are within limits. The process is not in control.

c. Wednesday sample is below the LCL; all others are within limits. The process is not in control.

d. Thursday sample is below the LCL; all others are within limits. The process is not in control.
