Module 7 Process Checkpoint: Control Chart
An analyst has been diligently collecting data on the number of discharges for one of our hospital’s departments. We have now reached the stage where we need to analyze and interpret this data to identify any variances. With this in mind, please refer to the attached file for the necessary information. Download refer to the attached file for the necessary information. 
Your task is to calculate various statistical metrics such as the mean, standard deviation, upper control limit (UCL), and lower control limit (LCL) based on the provided data. Once these calculations are complete, please visually represent the results using a control chart. 
Furthermore, please provide your observations regarding any trends or variations that stand out from the data. Your insights and comments on these aspects will be valuable in identifying potential areas for improvement within the department.
