GROUP ASSIGNMENTS
Notes :
(i)There are four problems. All the problems carry equal weightage.
(ii)The problems are open ended. The group, after discussion, can make appropriate assumptions about the missing data or missing information. The assumptions of one group may differ from other groups. The assumptions so made should be clearly and elaborately mentioned in the solutions

Prob.3 : (Statistical Process Control) (Chapter 18+ Lecture and Tutorial Material)
Control charts for X-bar and R are to be established on a certain dimension part, measured in mm. Data are collected in subgroup sizes of 6 and are given below. Subgroup Number | X-bar | R | | Subgroup Number | X-bar | R | 1 | 20.34 | 0.34 | | 14 | 20.41 | 0.36 | 2 | 20.40 | 0.36 | | 15 | 20.45 | 0.34 | 3 | 20.36 | 0.32 | | 16 | 20.34 | 0.36 | 4 | 20.65 | 0.36 | | 17 | 20.36 | 0.37 | 5 | 20.20 | 0.36 | | 18 | 20.42 | 0.37 | 6 | 20.40 | 0.35 | | 19 | 20.50 | 0.38 | 7 | 20.43 | 0.31 | | 20 | 20.31 | 0.35 | 8 | 20.37 | 0.34 | | 21 | 20.39 | 0.38 | 9 | 20.48 | 0.30 | | 22 | 20.39 | 0.33 | 10 | 20.42 | 0.37 | | 23 | 20.40 | 0.32 | 11 | 20.39 | 0.29 | | 24 |
