Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Estimate of the process average.
Concept introduction:This can explore where the production data express a usual distribution the procedure can be defined by the process mean.
(b)
Interpretation: Estimate of the average range.
(c)
Interpretation: Construct an R-chart and
Concept introduction:X bar charts are a type of statistical process control chart which measures a central a shift in the central tendency of the process. In other words, X- bar charts monitor the mean or average of product characteristics. The central line of the X-bar chart is the average of the samples and limits.
R-chart or range-chart is also a type of statistical process control chart, but it monitors the range of dispersion or variability of process. The central line of the r- chart is the average range and limits
