Part $1$

Refer to Table S$6\mathrm{.}1-$ Factors for Computing Control Chart Limits $(3$ sigma$)$ LOADING... for this problem.

Auto pistons at Wenming$$ Chung's plant in Shanghai are produced in a forging$$ process, and the diameter is a critical factor that must be controlled. From sample sizes of $10$ pistons produced each$$ day, the mean and the range of this diameter have been as$$ follows:
