Five samples with sample size = 4 were taken from a process. A range chart was developed that had LCLR = 0 and UCLR = 2.50. Similarly, an average chart was developed with the average range from the five samples, with LCX = 15 and ULX = 24. The ranges for each of the five samples were 1.75, 2.42, 2.75, 2.04, and 2.80, respectively. The values of the sample average for each sample were 19.5, 22.3, 17.4, 20.1, and 18.9, respectively.
