| Weight | |||
| Day | Package 1 | Package 2 | Package 3 | Package 4 |
| Monday | 23 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
| Tuesday | 23 | 21 | 19 | 21 |
| Wednesday | 20 | 19 | 20 | 21 |
| Thursday | 18 | 19 | 20 | 19 |
| Friday | 18 | 20 | 22 | 20 |
(a) Calculate all sample means and the mean of all sample means.
(b) What are the appropriate control chart(s) to construct to check if the process is in control?
(c) compute and draw the above-mentioned chart(s)
(d) based on the above computation, state if the process is in control?
