Organic Grains LLC uses statistical process control to ensure that its health-conscious, low-fat, multigrain sandwich loaves have the proper weight.
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?
