2. Calculate X-Bar-Bar, R-Bar, and associated control limits using the data in the table above.
3. Create X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts from the data in table above.
4. Discuss notable out-of-control conditions displayed in the completed X-Bar•R (Average & Range) Control Charts. Only consider points outside the Control Limits. Do not consider runs, set of points within certain zones, etc.
5. If the conditions you note could be defined as assignable conditions and they are
