The steel rods will go to a customer that is expecting each rod to meet a 10+0.05cm tolerancelevel. A selling point for the company is that it meets 60 quality. Compute the capabilityratios (C, and Cuk) to show if the current manufacturing system is capable and if it meetsthe desired quality standard.

Five samples of size 4 were taken from a process. A range chart was developed that had LCLR = 0 and UCLR = 2.50. Similarly, an average chart was developed with the average range from the five samples, with LCL = 15.0 and UCL = 24.0. The ranges for each of the five samples were 1.75, 2.42, 2.75, 2.04, and 2.80, respectively. The values of the sample average for each sample were 19.5, 22.3, 17.4, 20.1, and 18.9, respectively. What can you tell management from this analysis? The process variability is out of control, and we cannot make a statement about the process average. The process variability is out of control, but the process average is in control. The process variability and the process average are out of control. We cannot tell if the process variability or the process average is out of control. Need the answer in 10 minutes, if possible. Please
