I remember something about this from our practice questions—could it be called a "run above the mean"?

I think this might be related to a run or a streak, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

Ah yes, I think I've got it now. This is known as a "run" on the positive side of the mean. It suggests the process may have shifted in a particular direction. Good thing we're monitoring it with a control chart!

I remember learning about this in class. I believe the phenomenon you're describing is called a "shift" in the process. The measurements are consistently on one side of the mean, indicating a potential change.
