#1 Draw the X, R, and s charts for the data below, using exact calculations: Then calculate the Control Limits using approximate techniques.

#2 The data below was collected for a factory that manufactures telephones. Each day they make 10,000 phones, inspect 500, and expect to find 4 nonconforming (e.g. sometimes a button is put in upside down). The chart below lists nonconformity data for the previous week.
