A manufacturing company produces steel rods. The length of these rods is critical to their customers. The company aims to manufacture rods with a mean length of 150 cm. However, due to variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods follow a normal distribution. The company's quality control department samples 30 rods and finds that they have a mean length of 151 cm and a standard deviation of 2 cm. Calculate the Process Capability Index (Cp) and the Process Performance Index (Ppk) for this process. Assume the customer's specification limits are 147 cm and 153 cm for the length of the rods.

As employees leave a company, they are asked to rate their level of job satisfaction during the time they were employed by the company. A sample set of scores (out of a maximum of 10) is provided below. 3 6 4 4 5 2 1 3 2 5 3 7 2 2 3 1 9 1 Use the information provided in the table to calculate: The median; The mode; The mean; The lower quartile (Q1); The upper quartile (Q3); The interquartile range (IQR); The standard deviation. State whether or not the ex-employees were likely to have left the company as a result of lack of job satisfaction. Use the statistics above to justify your conclusion. Discuss in which ways the company could benefit from making these statistics available to its current employees.

You are a food specialist in a company that specializes inrefrigerated delicacies, and one of your brands requires beingmaintained at a temperature of 5°C. You determine averagewater activity (aw) at this temperature to be 0.2. One day, you are informed that the cooling systems onone of the delivery trucks carrying your company’s productsmalfunctioned while en route to its destination and it would notbe fixed until the next delivery. The driver has informed you thatthe temperature in the delivery bay of the truck is averaging55°C. You estimate a heat of sorption (Q) of 19 kJ/mol. Calculate the water activity of the brand at this elevatedtemperature and comment on it’s integrity. Should the deliverystill push through? Or should the products be recalled anddisposed
