A manufacturing facility analyzes a lot-sample of 100 units out of a shipment of 10,000. The demodulator frequency is supposed to be within 53.5 and 54.5 MHz. The mean is 54.25 MHz with a standard deviation of 0.04 MHz. What is the CPK?
A railway promises to ship freight from Toronto to Vancouver in 9 days, but customers consider any time between 6 and 14 days to be acceptable. Last week an auditor examined a sample of 71 shipments and found their delivery time had a mean of 10.4 days and a standard deviation of 1.5 days. The auditor also found 4 shipments where the customer had been charged too much money. With respect to shipping time, calculate the potential Sigma score for the process.
Using traditional methods, it takes 101 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 100 students and observed that they had a mean of 102 hours. Assume the variance is known to be 16. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.
Suppose you are analyzing processing times for a machining operation. In your analysis, you found Cp = 2.1 and Cpk = 1.5. Given this information, which of the following sigma levels is the highest that you could claim your process is capable of meeting? 2 sigma 3 sigma 4 sigma 5 sigma 6 sigma

Select one: The people who work at Walmart in Boone are friendly and competent The quality of products sold by Walmart in Boone tends to be on the lower end The location of Walmart in Boone is inconvenient Walmart in Boone has good operating hours
As the supervisor in charge of shipping and receiving, you need to determine the average outgoing quality in a plant where the known incoming lots from your assembly line have an average defective rate of 4.0%. Your plan is to sample 80 units of every 1,000 in a lo number of defects in a sample is not to exceed 3. Such a plan provides you with a probability of acceptance of each lot of 0.79 (79%). The average outgoing quality for the plant is =% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± 0.04 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.003 inches with a standard deviation of 0.020 inch. Calculate the process capability index.
Output from a process contains 0.02 defective unit. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who can test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units? Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether or not the inspection operation is added. a-1. Without the inspector, what is the current hourly cost of defects? a-2. Should an inspection station be established to test all units based on costs alone? multiple choice Yes No a-3. If the inspection operation is added, what would be the cost to inspect each unit? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. b. What would be the benefit (or loss) from establishing the inspection process? Note: Round your answer…
A team of undergraduate business students was asked to recommend improvement to the data entry process at the county appraiser’s office. The team identified several types of errors, such as posting an incorrect name or entering an incorrect parcel number. The deed abstractors were asked to keep a record of the errors in data entry that were sent to them. The following table is a frequency distribution of errors: Defect Total Posting error in name Posting error in parcel Property sold after tax bills were mailed Inappropriate call transfer (not part of deeds>mapping) Posting error in legal description>incompletelegal description Deeds received after tax bills printed Correspondence errors Miscellaneous errors 23 21 5 18 4 6 2 1 a. Construct a Pareto diagram of these defects in data entry.b. What recommendations would you suggest to the county appraiser?
While analyzing their annual sales data (liters of wine sold per year) for the past 30 years, a vineyard found that after taking four successive differences, the resulting data had a mean of 2458 liters and looked like a stationary process (e.g. white noise). If the actual data for the past four years were 2018 - 2134 liters, 2017 - 2403 liters, 2016 - 2076 liters, and 2015 - 2290 liters. What would be a reasonable forecast for sales in 2019? Explain.
