Repeat Exercise 3, using the S chart in place of the R chart.

Repeat Exercise 3.

Samples of three resistors are taken periodically, and the resistances, in ohms, are measured. The following table presents the means, ranges, and standarddeviations for 30 consecutive samples.

The means are X = 5.095, R = 0.110, and s = 0.058.

a. Compute the 3σ limits for the R chart. Is the variance out of control at any point? If so, delete the samples that are out of control and recompute X and R.

b. Compute the 3σ limits for the X chart. On the basis of the 3σ limits, is the process mean in control? If not, at what point is it first detected to be out of control?

c. On the basis of the Western Electric rules, is the process mean in control? If not, when is it first detected to be out of control?
