The XmR chart, made in #LabPlot [2.12dev], of the count of #Nobel Prizes in #Physics awarded in the years 1900-2024.
A single point falling outside the computed control limits should be interpreted as an indication of an assignable cause exerting a dominant effect on the process.

Neat! I had never heard of this type of chart before, so I looked it up and found this link explaining how they work: https://sixsigmastudyguide.com/xmr-charts/
I think the interpretation of this chart is: In the 2020s, there is a statistically significant change in how many people share the Nobel prize in physics (more people are sharing it). We could speculate on what the reason for that could be. All that the data tells us that the effect is meaningful.
