Design specifications require that a key dimension on a product measure 106 ‡ 11 units. A process being considered for producing this product has a standard deviation of four units. a. What can you say (quantitatively) regarding the process capability? Assume that the process is centered with respect to specifications.
Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
b. Suppose the process average shifts to 97. Calculate the new process capability.
Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
