Question
**A production process is designed to fill boxes with an average of 14 ounces of cereal. The population of filling weights is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 ounces.**

### a. Calculate the centerline, the upper control limit (UCL), and the lower control limit (LCL) for the \(\overline{x}\) chart if samples of 15 boxes are taken. 

*(Round the value for the centerline to the nearest whole number and the values for the UCL and LCL to 3 decimal places.)*

#### Table:

|                            |          |
|----------------------------|----------|
| Centerline                 |          |
| Upper Control Limit        |          |
| Lower Control Limit        |          |

---

### b. Analysts obtain the following sample means after a recent inspection of the production process. Can they conclude that the process is under control?

\[
\overline{x}_1 = 14.8 \quad \overline{x}_2 = 14.4 \quad \overline{x}_3 = 13.4 \quad \overline{x}_4 = 14.6 \quad \overline{x}_5 = 14.1 \quad \overline{x}_6 = 14.7
\]

#### Options:

- ○ Yes, because all sample means lie within the control limits, and there is no systematic pattern.
- ○ Yes, because some sample means lie outside the control limits.
- ○ No, because some sample means lie outside the control limits.
- ○ No, because even though all sample means lie within the control limits, there is a negative trend.
