The upper control limit (UCL) for the sample averages can be calculated using the formula: UCL = X̄ + A2 * R̄. Here, X̄ is the average of the sample means (1.1 gallons), R̄ is the average range (0.15 gallons), and A2 is a constant that depends on the sample size (for n=8, A2 is approximately 0.373). Thus, UCL = 1.1 + (0.373 * 0.15) = 1.156.
