averages, which is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the
observations by the square root of n (the subgroup size).
(n = constant) , OR
(n 
constant)
where:
- Sj is the Subgroup
Sigma of subgroup j
- S-bar is the Average
Sigma
- m is the total number
of subgroups included in the analysis
- c4 is a function
of n (available in any statistical quality control textbook)
- gj and hj are Burr's
