The Goodman Tire and Rubber Company periodically tests its tires for tread wear under simulated road conditions. To study and control the manufacturing process, 20 samples, each containing three radial tires, were chosen from different shifts over several days of operation; the data collected are shown below. Assuming that these data were collected when the manufacturing process was believed to be operating in control, develop the R and charts. R Chart: (to 2 decimals)

Range:

UCL = 4.73

LCL = 18.08

MEAN :

UCL = 27.115

LCL = 31.219

Size per sample, sample size, n = 3

Number of samples, k = 20

We calculate the sample mean and range average :

Sample mean, x-- = Σxbar/n = 29.167

Range average, Rbar = ΣR/n = 11.4

The mean control limit :

x-- ± A2Rbar

From the x chart ;

A2 for n = 20 is A2 = 0.180

29.167 ± 0.180(11.40)

LCL = 29.167 - 0.180(11.40) = 27.115

UCL = 29.167 + 0.180(11.40) = 31.219

The Range control limit :

Rbar(1 ± 3(d3/d2))

From the R-chart :

d2 at n = 20 ; d2 = 3.735

d3 at n = 20 ; d3 = 0.729

LCL = 11.40(1 - 3(0.729/3.735)) = 4.725

UCL = 11.40(1 + 3(0.729/3.735)) = 18.075

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem
