The data shown in Table 1 are x and R values for 20 samples of size n= 5 taken from a process producing bearings. The measurements are made on the inside diameter of the bearing, with only the last three decimals recorded (i.e., 31.6 should be 0.50316). Please show all your work for full credit. (a) Set up x and R charts on this process. Does the process seem to be in statistical control? If necessary, revise the trial control limits. (b) Assume that diameter is normally distributed.
