Summary Introduction

To determine: The system utilization rate.

Introduction: System utilization refers to percentage amount of capacity which is utilized or we can say that actual output is divided by potential output. It is operational metric for business which indicates aggregate productive capacity.

It reflects the ratio of demand to capacity or supply, it is also commonly known as Capacity utilization rate.

analysis needs to address the following issues: The battery temperatures are a major concern for us. Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers? A closer look at the Z-scores should help you in this regard.
