values to create an XmR Chart? There are three aspects to the behavior of the chart that are of interest here. What happens to the number of a false alarms? What happens to the ability of the chart to detect a change? And what happens when the baseline data contain a signal? THE LIKELIHOOD OF A FALSE ALARM Mathematical theory tells us that the risk of a false alarm whenever we place a point on an X-Chart is approximately 0.27%. But what happens to this risk when only k values have been used to compute

higher altitudes, with less oxygen present, have extra blood to circulate more oxygen throughout the body. If the average weight of an adult is taken to be 160 pounds, and it is assumed that the average weight of a human cell is 10-9 grams, then the following calculations can be performed to find the number of cells in an average adult human body: (1cell / 10-9g) * (1000g / 1kg) * (1kg / 2.205lb) * (160lb) = 7.256*1013 cells This value of 72.5 trillion cells is close to the estimated value of 60 trillion
