Chart Preparation Excercise (12)

The third section on your calculation sheet contains the calculations for the upper and lower control limits on the x-bar graph (referred to as UCL x-bar and LCL x-bar).

The control limits on the x-bar graph are located at 3 sigma above and below the mean. Consequently, both calculations use the values x-double-bar and 3s, which you have already calculated. These values have already been entered into the first two boxes below. Complete the calculation for the upper control limit and enter the result in the box outlined in red. Since this value will be used on the graph, it should be calculated to 1 decimal place. When you are ready, click the button to check your answer.
