Question

Pepsi makes bottles that need to be between 30 and 32 oz. You do measurements, and you find that a normal distribution describes Pepsi's actual bottling machine performance.

Specifically, the mean of the process is 30.5 oz, and the process standard deviation is 0.02 oz. If Pepsi wants to be within the tolerances 99.7% of the time, what is the process capability index? Round your answer to the nearest 2nd decimal point. For example, if your answer is 0.4435, enter 0.44 into the box.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
