Sample mean control charts can be created using:
I. the process standard deviation
II. the standard deviation of the sampling distribution
III. the sample range
IV. the average of sample ranges
Select one:
a. II or III
b. I or III
c. I or II
d. I or II or IV
e. II or IV
Answer:
The correct answer to the given question would be an Option d
Reason/Explanation:
Either of the following formulas can be used in order to find the control limits of Mean Chart:
(i) Using the Average Range:
CL = Average Mean (X=)
UCL = (X=) + (A2 * R-)
LCL = (X=) - (A2 * R-)
Where,
A2 = The value derived from the table of control chart constants for the subgroup size
R- = Average Range Value (Note: Sample Range = Max Observation Value - Min Observation Value for a Particular Sample)
(Ii) Using the Process Standard Deviation:
CL = Average Mean (X=)
UCL = (X=) + 3 (Sigma)
LCL = (X=) - 3 (Sigma)
Where. Sigma = Process Std Dev / SQRT (Sample Size)
(iii) Using the Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution:
CL = Average Mean (X=)
UCL = (X=) + 3 σ
LCL = (X=) - 3 σ
Where, σ = Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution
As per the above discussion, either of the average range, standard deviation of the sampling distribution or the process standard deviation can be used in order to find the control limits of the Mean Chart, hence, we conclude that the correct answer to the given question is option d.

Control charts for bar x chart and S have been maintained on a process and have exhibited statistical control. The sample size is n=6. The control chart parameters are as follows: Estimate the mean and standard deviation of the process. Assume that the process output is well modeled by a normal distribution. If specifications are 703 and 709, estimate the fraction nonconforming. Suppose the process mean shifts to 702.00 while the standard deviation remains constant. What is the probability of...

1- (i) For populations scattered in a wide area, the preferred technique for sampling is cluster sampling. (ii) If the population can be divided into homogeneous subgroups, stratified random sampling is the best sampling method to use. (iii) If every k-th item in the population sequence is selected, you are using systematic random sampling. 2- i. If a population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the sample means tends to approximate a normal distribution. ii. The Central Limit...
Product filling weights are normally distributed with a mean of 365 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams. a. Compute the chart upper control limit and lower control limit for this process if samples of size 10, 20 and 30 are used (to 2 decimals). Use Table 19.3.

A control chart is used for monitoring a process meanl (X) that is normally distributed with a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σχ , and the sample size is n-5. А 3-sigma limit (μ ±30% ) is used as control limits. Two decision rules are given here. Rule 1: If one or more of the next seven samples yield values of the sample average that fall outside the control limits, conclude that the process is out of...
