window if the value is out of control. The Chart window will display the message “NOT In Control”
If you have chosen a column for X-Axis Labels in the Chart Format Options dialog box, that column heading with its corresponding entries for each group
will also appear in the Statistics window.
The Statistics window also provides a summary of various statistics and

Limits dialog box):
UCL, LCL: (chart only) the upper and lower control limits
Note:
- Fixed Limits, if entered in the Stepped Control Limits dialog box, will be

- If the LCL is calculated as a value less than zero, it will not be displayed
on the Chart window, and will be displayed as 0.0 in the Statistics window.
Average (Mean): the average count
Control Limits based on: the method of calculation for the control limits, as specified in the Stepped
