Question
Define the mean chart
Solution
The mean chart `(bar"X" "chart")` is used to show, the quality average of the samples taken from the given process.
The `bar"X"` charts are usually required for decision making to accept or reject the process.
Procedure for `bar"X"`
i. Let X1, X2, X3, etc. be the samples selected each containing “n” observations usually (n = 4.5 or 6)
ii. Calculate mean for each samples `bar"X"_1, bar"X"_2, bar"X"_3`, ......... by using `bar"X"_"i" = (sum"X"_"i")/"n"`, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, ….
Where `sum"X"_"i"` = Total f “n” values included in the sample X1.
iii. Find the mean `(bar"X")` of the sample means
`bar"X" = (sumbar"X")/"Number of samples"`
Where `sumbar"X"` = Total of all the sample means.
