Understanding X-Bar Charts

The X-Bar chart shows how the mean (or average) changes over time. This chart is used to analyze central location; that is, the center of a set of sample data. The statistic used to describe the central location is the mean.

Data for the X-Bar chart can be derived from subgroups of constant size or variable sizes.
