Last steps
Compute the average
2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | Sum | Average |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-77 | -95 | -85 | -106 | -90 | -453.0 | -90.6 |
Compute the Upper Control Limit
Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and add to the average: -60.6
Compute the Lower Control Limit
Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and subtract from the average: -120.6
For the lines, you have the data necessary to plot the chart.
