Q-2 Component Quality Variation Control (X-R Control Chart)
Use the values in the data sheet to determine the mean (X) and range (R) for each of the data
groups. Next, use the X control chart coefficient table below to determine the A
coefficients in accordance with the number of measured values in each group (sample size n).
Using these coefficients, determine the upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL) for
the mean value (X) and range (R) as shown below, and create the control chart.

UCL = 75.919 + 0.58 × 0.084 = 75.967
LCL = 75.919 – 0.58 × 0.084 = 75.870
