-Historically, the average diameter of the holes drilled has been 0.25 cm and the average range has been 0.1 cm. Determine the central line and upper and lower control limits for an X- and an R- chart, assuming samples of size 8 will be taken. Use Table 7.1.For the - chart, what is the value of $U C L \bar { _X } ?$

A) less than or equal to 0.100
B) greater than 0.100 but less than or equal to 0.200
C) greater than 0.200 but less than or equal to 0.300
D) greater than 0.300
