a) Construct an X and R charts from these data with 3 sigma control limits, plot the
sample values, and comment on process control. (3 points)
X = (8,894+8,876+8,99+9,194+9,038+8,708+9,054+9,158+9,174+9,064+9,092+9,012)/12 = 9,02
R = (0,67+0,69+0,93+0,52+0,64+0,71+0,45+0,17+1,17+0,99+0,65+0,15)/12 = 0,645
UCLR = 2,11x0,645 = 1,36
LCLR = 0x0,645 = 0

As a result, we can affirm that the process is in control : there is no value under LCL and no
value over UCL.
2. The Midwest Bolt would like to control the quality of the bolts produced by its automatic
screw machines. Each machine produces 100 bolts per hour and is controlled by a separate
control chart. The average range is .020 and the overall average of measurements (x double
bar) is .513. Every hour, a random sample of six bolts is selected from the output of each
machine and the diameter of each sample bolt is measured. For each six diameters, an
average and range are computed. For example, one sample produced the following six
measurements: .536, .507, .530, .525, .530, .520. ( 3 points)
a) What is the average and range for this sample?
R = 0,536-0,507 = 0,29; The range for this sample is 0,29.
X = (0,536+0,530+0,507+0,525+0,530+0,520)/6 = 0,524; the average for this sample is 0,524.
