After 20 or so subgroups are plotted, a grand average (X-double bar) of all of the subgroup averages is calculated and plotted as a horizontal line on the top chart. Also, an average (R-bar) of all of the subgroup ranges is calculated and plotted on the bottom chart. The R-bar value can also be used to calculate the Upper and Lower Control Limits for both charts. These represent the normal limits (+ or - minus 3 standard deviations, or 99.7%) of the population of subgroups.

Why is it not correct to average an average?
It may or may not be correct, depending on the situation. Here are two examples: let's say the average temperature for a given month, in a given city, is known. There is nothing wrong with taking the averages for all the other months (with one caveat), and thus finding the average for the entire year. (The caveat is, the averages must all be based on the same period of time, for example, if one month's average was computed over the last 50 years and another month for the last 80 years, then it is not valid to lump them together, as the data sources are different.) An example where it's not valid to "average an average." Say a baseball player has been playing in the major leagues and you know his batting average for each year in his career. It would not be valid to take the averages for each year and add them together and divide them by the number of years played. This kind of "average of an average" is not valid because the player undoubtedly batted a different number of times each year. In other words, if he batted .300 with 100 at bats in one year, and .200 with 500 at bats another year, his career average is NOT .250, since the number of at bats was not taken into account.
What Does Mean Mean In The Maths Terms?
The mean of a set of data is also known as the average. To get the average, add all the numbers in a data set up, then take away the number of numbers. eg. data set = 5,6,7,6,6,4,4,3,4,5,4,6. Added = 60 Number of numbers = 12 60/12 = 5 = Average
What is the decimal between 1.5 and 1.8?
There are an infinite number of them. The one right dead-center in the middle is known as the "average" of 1.5 and 1.8 . That number is 1.65 .
The average of 5 numbers is 82 The average of 4 of the numbers is 80 what is the fifth numbers?
To find the fifth number, you can use the formula for finding the average of a set of numbers. The sum of the 5 numbers is 82 * 5 = 410. The sum of the 4 known numbers is 80 * 4 = 320. Therefore, the fifth number can be found by subtracting the sum of the 4 known numbers from the sum of all 5 numbers: 410 - 320 = 90. So, the fifth number is 90.
How do you get the mean in a math problem?
the mean, also known as the average is calculated by adding up all the numbers together then dividing that by how many numbers you added together.
