Answer:

82.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{2cm}{15km} =\frac{11cm}{?km}$

Cross-multiply.

2x = 11(15)

Divide both sides by 2 and solve for x.

x = 82.5 km

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 operating at a 6 sigma level, the probability is:

$\\ 1 - p = 1 - 0.999999998027 = 0.000000001973$

Similarly, for finding no defects 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 6 sigma level is markedly different when it comes to the number of defects present:

$\\ {6\sigma} \approx \frac{2}{10^9}$ [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 2 defects per billion opportunities, whereas a five sigma process has 600 defects per billion opportunities.
