median deviation is smaller than the coefficient of mean deviation.

       vii) The Variance

      The variance is defined as the average of the squared deviation from mean. It is denoted by S2. The formula for the variance may be defined as

      The variance for the grouped data may be defined as

       viii) The Standard Deviation

      The standard deviation may be defined as the positive square root of the variance. It is denoted by S. The formula for the standard deviation may be defined as

      The standard deviation for the grouped data may be defined as

      The coefficient of variation may be defined as

      1.4.2 Probability Distributions

      The science of statistics is based on a number of probability distributions used to measure the likelihood of a particular phenomenon. Two types of random variables are considered in the control chart literature, i.e. continuous random variable and the discrete random variable. A continuous random variable is one which can assume each and every possible value in a given interval, for example, height, weight, temperature, etc. Whereas a discrete variable can assume only some specific integer or whole number value as it deals with the counting of the numbers, for example, yes/no, good/defective, go/no go, etc.

      Continuous Probability Distributions

       Normal Probability Distribution

      In the domain of the SPC, mostly we collect the random data on continuous scale (Oakland, 2008). The likelihood of this continuous scale data can be best studied through the normal probability distribution. It is a bell‐shaped distribution with the mean at the center and its spread; the width of the curve is reflected by its standard deviation. Due to some nice properties, it is commonly used by the quality control personnel. In SPC the normal probability distribution helps us to determine the probability of falling an observation within the control limits and out of the control limits. If x is the normal random variable, then the probability distribution of x can be defined as

      The mean of the normal distribution is μ(− ∞ < μ < ∞), and the variance is σ2 > 0. This distribution is commonly used as x~N(μ, σ2) to describe that x is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ2.

      The cumulative normal distribution may be defined as the probability that the random variable x is less than or equal to some arbitrarily value a, which is

      The solution of this integral cannot be computed in closed form. However, by using the transformation of the variable x as

      where Φ(·) is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution with mean 0 and unit variance (Montgomery, 2009). The areas or the probabilities can be computed using the table of areas under standard normal distribution given in Appendix A.

      1 The range of the normal random variable is −∞, +∞.

      2 This distribution is bell shaped and symmetric about mean.

      3 The mean, median, and mode of the normal distribution are same.

      4 The total area/probability under the normal curve is one.

      5 All odd order moments about mean are zero.

      6 The normal curve extended to both sides of the mean but never touches the x‐axis.

      7 The area under the normal curve from
