X-Bar and R Chart Example In-Class Exercise

This document provides an example of calculating an X-bar chart and R chart to determine if a gluing process is in statistical control. It gives sample data on the force applied in the gluing process over 15 samples. It then shows the step-by-step calculations for determining the sample means, ranges, grand means, and control limits needed to construct an X-bar chart and R chart and evaluate if the process is in control.
