Analysis of the R-Chart.

STEP 2:

From our analysis we can see that the R-chart is out-of-control in two areas.
a) We have 7 consecutive samples below R-bar. (samples 9-15)
b) Sample 20 is outside the UCL-R.
Because our chart is out of control, we must fix these issues and take more samples
(According to this assigment, these issues will be deleted.)
