There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to f

ind the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters…but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of .7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of .3mm.

Answer:

Machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

Explanation:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

For machine 1, mean= 48mm and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.7

Cpk= [0.952;0.952]= 0.952

For machine 2, mean= 47 and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Cpk= [1.111;3.333]= 1.111

It is clearly observed from the calculations above that the Cpk value of machine 2 is higher than that of machine 1.

Since machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

An engineer is testing the shear strength of spot welds used on a construction site. The engineer's null hypothesis at a 5% leve
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

b) The null hypothesis should be rejected.

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is at least

3.1 MPa

H0: u ≥3.1 MPa  against the claim Ha: u< 3.1 MPa

The alternate hypothesis is  that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa.

This is one tailed test

The critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645

The Sample mean= x`= 3.07

The number of welds= n= 15

Standard Deviation= s= 0.069

Applying z test

z= x`-u/s/√n

z= 3.07-3.1/0.069/√15

z= -0.03/0.0178

z= -1.68

As the calculated z= -1.68  falls in the critical region Z(0.05) < ± 1.645 the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is accepted that the mean shear strength of spot welds is less than 3.1 MPa
