Question: The data shown in Table 6E.2 are x and R values for 24 samples of size n = 5 taken from a process producing bearings. The measurements are made on the inside diameter of the bearing, with only the last three decimals recorded (i.e., 34.5 should be 0.50345).

  1. Set up x and R charts on this process. Does the process seem to be in statistical control? If necessary, revise the trial control limits.
  2. If specifications on this diameter are 0.5030 ± 0.0010, find the percentage of nonconforming bearings produced by this process. Assume that diameter is normally distributed.
