Answer:
A ) i) X control chart : upper limit = 50.475, lower limit = 49.825
ii) R control chart : upper limit = 1.191, lower limit = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Finding the control limits
grand sample mean = 1253.75 / 25 = 50.15
mean range = 14.08 / 25 = 0.5632
Based on X control CHART
The upper control limit ( UCL ) =
grand sample mean + A2* mean range ) = 50.15 + 0.577(0.5632) = 50.475
The lower control limit (LCL)=
grand sample mean - A2 * mean range = 50.15 - 0.577(0.5632) = 49.825
Based on R control charts
The upper limit = D4 * mean range = 2.114 * 0.5632 = 1.191
The lower control limit = D3 * mean range = 0 * 0.5632 = 0
B) estimate the process mean and standard deviation
estimated process mean = 50.15 = grand sample mean
standard deviation = mean range / d2 = 0.5632 / 2.326 = 0.2421
note d2 is obtained from control table
A = {1, 2, 5, 6, 8}
{1} U {2, 5, 6, 8}
{2} U {1, 5, 6, 8}
{5} U {1, 2, 6, 8}
{6} U {1, 2, 5, 8}
{8} U {1, 2, 5, 6}
{1, 2} U {5, 6, 8}
{1, 5} U {2, 6, 8}
{1, 6} U {2, 5, 8}
{1, 8} U {2, 5, 6}
{1, 2, 5} U {6, 8}
{1, 2, 6} U {5, 8}
{1, 2, 8} U {5, 6}
{1, 5, 6} U {2, 8}
{1, 5, 8} U {2, 6}
{1, 6, 8} U {2, 5}
The answer is 15 distinct pairs of disjoint non-empty subsets.
