Based on a previously stable and in-control process, the control limits of the x- and R-charts are: UCL-4.86, LCL- = 4.52, UCLR=1.344, LCLR = 0. Over the past few days, they have taken five random samples of four loaves each and have found the following: Based on the x-chart, is one or more samples beyond the control limits?
