A Quality Analyst wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling a packaging process. The analyst knows from past experience that whenever this process is under control, package weight is normally distributed with a mean of twenty ounces and a standard deviation of two ounces. Each day last week, the analyst randomly selected four packages and weighed each with the following results:
| Day | Weight (ounces) | |||
| 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 |
If upper and lower control limits of 23 and 17 ounces are used, on what day(s), if any, does this process appear to be out of control?
