For an x chart with subgroups of 5, the grand mean is 50.0 and the average range is 4.0. What are the control limits? (A2 = 0.577)

  1. UCL = 62.00, LCL = 38.00
  2. UCL = 52.31, LCL = 47.69
  3. UCL = 54.00, LCL = 46.00
  4. UCL = 54.62, LCL = 45.38

Answer

B. UCL = 52.31, LCL = 47.69

Solution

UCL = x + A2 R = 50 + 0.577(4) = 52.31; LCL = 50 - 2.308 = 47.69.
