Statistical Process Control

Whole Grains LCC uses statistical process control to ensure that their health-conscious, low-fat, multi-grain sandwich loaves have the proper weight of 6 oz. Over the past few days, they have taken five observations of four samples and have found the following. Construct the upper and control limits. Do the results suggest that the process is in control
