Making a QC Chart

Step 1: Compute the Mean

With the following data compute for the
mean/average
1, 3, 5, 7, 9
1+3+5+7+9 = 25; 25/5 = 5 = Mean

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation
SD formula:

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation

2.1: Compute for the (X-Mean)

Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean = 5
1-5 = -4
3-5 = -2
5-5 = 0
7-5 = 2
9-5 = 4

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation

2.2: Compute for the (X-Mean)^2

Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean = 5
1-5 = -4 = -4^2 or -4 x -4 = 16
3-5 = -2 = -2^2 or -2 x -2 = 4
5-5 = 0 = 0^2 or 0 x 0 = 0
7-5 = 2 = 2^2 or 2 x 2 = 4
9-5 = 4 = 4^2 or 4 x 4 = 16

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation

2.3: Compute for the S (X-Mean)^2

Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean = 5
1-5 = -4 = -4^2 or -4 x -4 = 16
3-5 = -2 = -2^2 or -2 x -2 = 4
5-5 = 0 = 0^2 or 0 x 0 = 0
7-5 = 2 = 2^2 or 2 x 2 = 4
9-5 = 4 = 4^2 or 4 x 4 = 16
Summation = 16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16 = 40

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation

2.4: Compute S (X-Mean)^2 / n-1

Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean = 5
Summation = 16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16 = 40
40 / (5-1)
40 / 4
10

Step 2: Compute for the Standard

Deviation

2.5: Compute SD
Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean = 5
Summation = 16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16 = 40
Sqrt 10
SD = 3.16

Step 3: Compute 1SD 2SD 3SD

Intervals
Data 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; Mean
=5
Summation = 16 + 4 + 0
+ 4 + 16 = 40
SD = 3.16
