a
Interpretation:
Effect on optimal value of n and k is to be determined if
Concept Introduction:
Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.
b
Interpretation:
Effect on optimal value of n and k is to be determined if
Concept Introduction:
Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.
Exponential distribution is a probabilitydistribution which finds probability of an event to occur between independent constant rate and continous rate.
c

The current distribution of the filling process is centered on 8.054 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.192 ounces. Compute the process capability ratios Cp and Cpk to assess whether the filling process is capable and set properly.arrow_forward
- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. The specification for a plastic liner for concrete highway projects calls for a thickness of 6.0 mm ± 0.1 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm. The process is known to operate at a mean thickness of 6.03 mm. What is the Cp and Cpk for this process? Determine whether this process meet 3-sigma requirements, 6-sigma requirements, or doesn’t meet any requirements.arrow_forwardCpk can never be higher than Cp.

The portfolio of each was given to the HR Director. For each employee, the HR Director gathers information by trying to verify the years in service, expertise, qualifications, performance evaluation, etc. but some doubt about who among the employees are qualified always remains when a decision to retain or not is to be made. What are the type I and II decision error costs? Which decision error is more likely to be discovered by her boss? How does this affect the HR Director’s decisions on employee retention?arrow_forward
