Answer:

B) 3.16 pounds, since two decimal places would indicate the usage of the hundredths place.

Answer:

Option B is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A). 3 pounds and 1 ounce

It's not valid because electronic scale can measure 1/100th part of a pound and the weight given is the measurement of a scale that can measure up-to 1/10 part of a pound.

Option B) 3.16 pounds is the answer.

Option C). 3.161 pounds

not true because this weight can be measured by a scale which can measure to 1/1000 of a pound.

Option D). 3.1611 pounds

not true because this measurement can be done with a scale which measure to 1/10000 of a pound.

The statistical difference between a process operating at a 5 sigma level and a process operating at a 6 sigma level is markedly
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A six sigma level has a lower and upper specification limits between \\ (\mu - 6\sigma) and \\ (\mu + 6\sigma). It means that the probability of finding no defects in a process is, considering 12 significant figures, for values symmetrically covered for standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution:

\\ p = F(\mu + 6\sigma) - F(\mu - 6\sigma) = 0.999999998027

For those with defects <em>operating at a 6 sigma level, </em>the probability is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999998027 = 0.000000001973

Similarly, for finding <em>no defects</em> in a 5 sigma level, we have:

\\ p = F(\mu + 5\sigma) - F(\mu - 5\sigma) = 0.999999426697.

The probability of defects is:

\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999426697 = 0.000000573303

Well, the defects present in a six sigma level and a five sigma level are, respectively:

\\ {6\sigma} = 0.000000001973 = 1.973 * 10^{-9} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} \approx \frac{2}{1000000000}

\\ {5\sigma} = 0.000000573303 = 5.73303 * 10^{-7} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} \approx \frac{6}{10000000}  

Then, comparing both fractions, we can confirm that a <em>6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:</em>

\\ {6\sigma} \approx \frac{2}{10^9} [1]

\\ {5\sigma} \approx \frac{6}{10^7} = \frac{6}{10^7}*\frac{10^2}{10^2}=\frac{600}{10^9} [2]

Comparing [1] and [2], a six sigma process has <em>2 defects per billion</em> opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has <em>600 defects per billion</em> opportunities.
