A fruit juice company sells a glass container filled with 24 ounces of cranapple juice. Inspectors are concerned about the consistency of volume of fill in these containers. Every 2 hours for 3 days of production, a sample of five containers is randomly selected and the volume of fill is measured. The results follow. Use this information to construct x¯ and R charts.
