An accounts department is concerned about the number of internal purchase forms that its users completed incorrectly. As a result they are monitoring the proportion of purchase forms that were not completed correctly. This was chosen, rather than measuring the actual number of defects, because any number of defects on a form required about the same effort to revise. The following table shows number of forms completed incorrectly "out of 200 forms" that is processed each day. Construct a control chart for the data that monitors the proportion of incorrect forms. Is the process in control?

Day.................Number of Incorrect Forms
----------------------------------------------------------
...1....................                       19
...2....................                      18
...3....................                      18
...4....................                      18
...5....................                      20
...6....................                      17
...7....................                      16
...8....................                      16
...9....................                      20
.10....................                      19
----------------------------------------------------------
Sum.................181
