Calculate Mean and Range Chart
Problem- Twelve samples, each containing five parts, were taken from a process that produces steel rods. The length of each rod in the samples was determined. The results were tabulated and sample means and ranges were computed. The results were:

A) Determine the upper and lower control limits and the overall means for x-charts and R-charts.
B) Draw the charts and plot the values of the sample means and ranges.
C) Do the data indicate a process that is in control?
D) Why or why not?
How can I calculate and draw a mean and range chart. Also find the lower and upper limits.
