Problem (10) Solution:

- The mean of samples average can be calculated as:

′′
𝑥 ′ 3.06 + 3.15 + 3.11 + 3.13 + 3.06 + 3.09
𝑥 =∑ = = 3.1
𝑁 6
- The mean of range can be calculated as:
𝑅 0.42 + 0.5 + 0.41 + 0.46 + 0.46 + 0.45
𝑅′ = ∑ = = 0.45
𝑁 6
- From the X and R charts for quality control:
At N = 20 observations: A2 = 0.18, D3 = 0.41, D4 = 1.59
- X-Chart control chart:
𝑈𝐶𝐿 = 𝑥 ′′ + 𝐴2 𝑅′ = 3.1 + (0.18 × 0.45) = 3.181
𝐿𝐶𝐿 = 𝑥 ′′ − 𝐴2 𝑅′ = 3.1 − (0.18 × 0.45) = 3.019

- R-Chart control chart:
𝐿𝐶𝐿 = 𝐷3 𝑅′ = (0.41 × 0.45) = 0.1845
𝑈𝐶𝐿 = 𝐷4 𝑅′ = (1.59 × 0.45) = 0.7155

Problem (12) Solution:
- The mean of samples average can be calculated as:

′′
𝑥 ′ 3.86 + 3.9 + 3.83 + ⋯ + 3.79 + 3.85
𝑥 =∑ = = 3.85
𝑁 39
- X-Chart control chart:

𝑈𝐶𝐿 = 𝑥 ′′ + 𝑧(𝜎/√𝑛) = 3.85 + 3(0.146/√14) = 3.967

𝐿𝐶𝐿 = 𝑥 ′′ − 𝑧(𝜎/√𝑛) = 3.85 − 3(0.146/√14) = 3.7329
