Linda Boardman, Inc., an equipment manufacturer in Boston, has submitted a sample cutoff valve to improve your manufacturing process. Your process engineering department has conducted experiments and found that the valve has a mean (u) of 12.00 and a standard deviation (a) of 0.04. Your desired performance is μ = 12.00 +3 standard deviations, where a = 0.045. For the given information, the process capability index (Cpk) - (round your response to three decimal places).

A manufacturer is selling pharmaceuticals that have a weight specification 199.8 to 200.2 mg, with a target value of 200 mg. Before sending its next shipment, the company collects a large sample of product and determines the mean weight of the sample is 199.89 mg, with a standard deviation of 0.035 mg. The process capability index for the current process is ____. Round to three decimal places.

Arana is a company that produces homemade Rotini pasta. They use statistical process control to monitor the manufacturing process. The company collects five samples, each containing six packs of pasta. Below is the sample data, but the standard deviation of the process output is unknown.
