A part that connects two levels should have a distance between the two holes of 4". It has been determined that x-bar and R-charts should be set up to determine if the process is in statistical control. The following ten samples of size four were collected. Calculate the control limits, plot the control charts, and determine if the process is in control.

Statistical Control
A methodology within statistical process control that uses statistical techniques to monitor and control a process, ensuring it operates at its full potential.
X-bar
A symbol representing the mean of a sample in statistical processes, commonly used in control charts to monitor process performance.
R-charts
Control charts used to monitor the range within a sample, helping to identify variability in a process over time.
- Acquire knowledge about the core concepts of statistical process control (SPC) and its critical role in quality assurance.
- Pursue the calculation and elucidation of control limits and process capabilities across a range of control chart types including X-bar, R-chart, p-chart, and c-chart.
- Explore sample data to see if a process is under the influence of statistical control.
