Question

Further, Boris must also take into consideration the chicken calorie specifications which, as you know, are imposed by customers and competitors. The target for the chicken calorie content is 475 calories---with a tolerance level of 50 calories in each direction. The upper control limit of the X-bar chart is: (Please round up) a) More than 520 calories but less than or equal to 540 calories. b) More than 540 calories but less than or equal to 560 calories. c) More than 560 calories but less than or equal to 580 calories. d) More than 580 calories but less than or equal to 600 calories. e) None of the above.The lower control limit of the X-bar chart is:a) More than 415 calories but less than or equal to 430 calories.b) More than 430 calories but less than or equal to 445 calories.c) More than 445 calories but less than or equal to 460 calories.d) More than 460 calories but less than or equal to 475 calories.The process capability index, Cp, is:a) Negative.b)Less than 1.c)More than 1 but less than 1.3d)More than 1 but less than 1.4.e)None of the above.The process capability index, Cpk, is:a) Negative.b) Less than 1.c) More than 1 but less than 1.05d) More than 1 but less than 1.08e) None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

a, a, b,b

Step-by-step explanation:

Upper bound: 475+50= 525

lower bound: 475-50= 425

Cp= (Upper bound-lower bound)/ 6σ

Cp= (525-525)/ (6× 50)

Cp= 0.33

Cpk is minimum of two following values: (Upper bound-mean)/ 3σ, (mean -lower bound)/ 3σ

Cpk in this case is: Min (0.33,0.33)

The Cp and Cpk values are  calculated from the actual process values. Here target Cp and Cpk value is 0.33
