Organic Grains LLC uses statistical process control to ensure that its health-conscious, low-fat, multigrain sandwich loaves have the proper weight.
Based on a previously stable and in-control process, the control limits of the x- and R-charts are:
UCLx = 5.78, LCLx = 5.42;
UCLR = 0.301, LCLR = 0.
Over the past few days, they have taken five random samples of four loaves each and have found the following:

| 4 | 5.5 | 5.7 | 5.5 | 5.7 |
| 5 | 5.4 | 5.6 | 5.7 | 5.4 |
