A quality engineer at Lockheed Martin is required as a part of ISO AS9100 certification to check the tolerances on all aerospace components every hour. The Quality Assurance team utilizes x-bar and R-charts to monitor the process. Eight times throughout the course of a shift, the quality engineer collects four samples (n=4) from a manufacturing line for inspection. The data collected by the engineer for this part is as follows:
|
| Mean (mm) | Range (mm) |
| Group 1 | 12.01 | 0.4 |
| Group 2 | 13.28 | 0.6 |
| Group 3 | 14.01 | 0.2 |
| Group 4 | 13.99 | 0.5 |
| Group 5 | 14.13 | 0.6 |
| Group 6 | 13.73 | 0.3 |
| Group 7 | 14.42 | 0.8 |
| Group 8 | 13.97 | 0.4 |
What is the X-bar Upper Control Limit (UCLx)?
a. 14.24
b. 14.036
c. 13.965
d. 13.79
