Concept Introduction: Poisson distribution is the probability distribution of discrete random variable series in which frequency of outcomes is calculated in a given period of time.
Standard deviation is the numerical expression of showing the error from the average.
b
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Values of UCL and LCL.
Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample
