total 21.942 0.79
average 1.995 0.072

from above :

sample mean x̅ = 1.995
average range R̅ = 0.072
sample size n   = 5
for sample size n=5, criitcal value of constant A2= 0.577
control line (CL) = x̅= 1.995
upper control limit =x̅+3*A2R̅ = 2.037
lower control limit =x̅-3*A2R̅ = 1.953

as 1.964 falls between upper and lower control limit ; therefore process is "In Control"
