Based on the sampling done,

the

control limits for 3-sigma

x overbarx

chart are (round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further

calculations):

Upper Control Limit

(UCL Subscript x overbarUCLx)

=

nothing

inches (round your response to three decimal places).

Lower Control Limit

(LCL Subscript x overbarLCLx)

=

nothing

inches (round your response to three decimal places).

Based on the

x overbarx-chart,

the wire cutting process has been

OUT OF CONTROL

IN CONTROL

.

The control limits for the

3-sigma

R-chart are (round all intermediate calculations to three decimal places before proceeding with further

calculations):

Upper Control Limit

(UCL Subscript Upper RUCLR)

=

nothing

inches (round your response to three decimal places).

Lower Control Limit

(LCL Subscript Upper RLCLR)

=

nothing

inches (round your response to three decimal places).

Based on the R-chart, the wire cutting process has been

IN CONTROL

OUT OF CONTROL

.
