Last steps
Compute the average
2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | Sum | Average |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-32 | -27 | -35 | -49 | -29 | -172.0 | -34.4 |
Compute the Upper Control Limit
Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and add to the average: -10.4
Compute the Lower Control Limit
Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and subtract from the average: -58.4
For the lines, you have the data necessary to plot the chart.
