At Quick Car Wash, the wash process is advertised to take less than 6 minutes. Consequently, management has set a target average of 320 seconds for the wash process. Suppose the average range for a sample of 10 cars is 10 seconds. Use the accompanying table to establish control limits for sample means and ranges for the car wash process.
Checkout time at a supermarket is monitored using a mean and a range chart. Six samples of n = 20 observations have been obtained and the sample means and ranges computed:
