Question

A manufacturing company produces bearings. The diameter specified for the bearings is

5 millimeters. Every 30 minutes, twelve bearings are sampled and their diameters are measured and recorded. In this way, forty samples of twelve bearings are selected and the data are displayed in the following table:

Construct the suitable control charts for variability as well as average to infer whether the diameter of the process is under control or not. If it is out-of-control, construct the revised control charts.

Word Count : 518

Since forty samples of twelve bearings each are given, control charts for X̄ (mean chart) and R (range chart) will be constructed. These will help determine whether the manufacturing process for bearing diameter (nominal 5 mm) is under statistical control. Each sample size ( n = 12 ), and the number of samples ( k = 40 ). --- Step 1: Compute Sample Means (X̄) and Ranges (R) For each sample, compute: [ \bar{X}*i = \frac{\sum X}{12}, \quad R_i = X*{max} - X_{min} ] Let’s illustrate with a few samples (others are computed similarly): | Sample | Data Summary (approx.) | X̄ | R
