Question
A company that makes bolts and rivets used in assembling airplanes
monitors the quality of its bolts by measuring the torque required to
unloosen a bolt. When installed correctly, the bolts must be tight enough
to withstand heavy vibration during flights but must be loose enough so
that they can be removed periodically for maintenance. The following
bar chart monitors the amount of torque required to loosen
of 7 bolts that have been selected each hour for testing:

Subgroup number
For a process such as this to be "in statistical control," only random
patterns of points should appear on the control chart. The process is
"not in statistical control" when any non-random patterns appear on the
chart. Three commonly used tests or rules for signaling that a process
may not be in statistical control are:
• Rule 1: One or more points fall outside one of the chart's control
limits
• Rule 2: Nine points in a row are on the same side of the chart's
centerline
• Rule 3: Six points in a row are increasing (or decreasing).

Using these three rules, identify which (if any) of the rules gives an "out
of control" signal, and indicate the subgroup number at which the signal
is first given.
