Count: the number of occurrences of the condition of interest for that group,
sometimes called the “number of defects.”
Proportion: the calculated number of times each unit meets the condition of interest for
that group, displayed as a percentage, sometimes called the “percentage defective.”
Warning: An asterisk will appear next to the Proportion value in the
Statistics 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

Limits dialog box):
UCL, LCL: (chart only) the upper and lower control limits
