Q.
Five samples, each of size 5, were drawn from a production process. Their means and ranges were:
| Sample | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | 50 | 52 | 49 | 51 | 53 |
| Range | 4 | 6 | 5 | 3 | 7 |
Using , , (standard factors for ), compute the control limits for the chart and the chart, and state whether the process is in control.

Step 2 — Compute the average range (mean of the five sample ranges):
Step 3 — chart control limits, using for :
Step 4 — chart control limits, using , :
Step 5 — Check every sample point against both charts:
