Chart Preparation Exercise (12)

The last stage of this exercise is to calculate the upper and lower control limits for the X graph. These calculations are shown in the third section of your calculation sheet (top right). The calculations are symmetrical, and they both use the values of X-bar and 3s which you have already calculated.

Enter the value for the upper control limit (UCL X) in the box outlined in red below and then click the button to check your answer. Your answer should be rounded to 1 decimal place.

SUM X No. of Samples X-bar
