Q. Resistors for electronic circuits are manufactured on a high-speed automated machine. Machine is set up to produce a large run of resistors of 1,000 ohms each. To set up machine and to create a control chart to be used throughout run, 15 samples were taken with 4 resistors in each sample. Complete list of samples and their measured values are as follows:

Develop a _X chart and an R chart and plot values. From charts, illustrate what comments can you make about process?
