Question
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether magnets are effective in treating back pain. The results are shown in the table for the treatment (with magnets) group and the sham (or placebo) group. The results are a measure of reduction in back pain. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from

- A company manufactures an electrical cooling fan. When the fans are performing properly, samples of 200 fans average 12.5 watts with an average range of 1.2 watts. A 3σ control chart program is being used to monitor the performance of the fans, and these data from the 10 most recent samples were collected: Sample Number Sample Mean Sample Range 1 12.5 1.1 2 12.45 1.2 3 12.55 0.9 4 12.50 0.8 5 12.45 0.9 6 12.60 1.0 7 12.48 1.4 8 12.46 1.1 9 12.56 0.9 10 12.48 0.8 Compute the 3σ control limits and center line for an ⁻x chart.
