Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Control charts that are based on data measured on a continuous scale are known as variable control charts. This is because the data being measured can vary in small increments, making it a continuous variable rather than a discrete attribute. Option A is incorrect because normal control charts do not refer to the type of data being measured, but rather the shape of the distribution of that data. Option C is incorrect because attribute control charts are used for discrete data that cannot be measured on a continuous scale. Option D is not a commonly used term in statistical process control.
