When the process is in control, the range of the weight of coffee samples average 0.6 ounces.
(a) Develop an R-chart and an xbar-chart for this process
(b) The measurements of weight from the last five samples taken of the six containers follow
Sample x-bar R
1 12.1 0.7
2 11.8 0.4
3 12.3 0.6
4 11.5 0.4
5 11.6 0.9
Is the process in control? Explain your answer
