Canine Gourmet Super Breath dog treats are sold in boxes labeled with a net weight of 9 ounces (255​grams) per box. Each box contains 6 individual​ 1.5-ounce packets. To reduce the chances of shorting the​customer, product design specifications call for the​ packet-filling process average to be set at 43.0 grams so that the average net weight per box of 6 packets will be 258 grams. Tolerances are set for the box to weigh 258±12 grams. The standard deviation for the​ packet-filling process is 1.01 grams. The target process capability ratio is 1.33. One​ day, the ​packet-filling process average weight drifts down to 42.5 grams. Is the packaging process​ capable? Is an adjustment​ needed? Since the process capability​ index, Cpk​,is​ ?,the process is capable?is not capable?   ​(Enter your response rounded to three decimal places​.)

One day, the packet-filling process average weight drifts down to 43.0 grams. Is the packaging process capable? Is an adjustment needed? Since the process capability index, Cpk, is 517, the process is not capable. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) Since the process capability ratio, Co. is 3.268, the problem is that the process is not centered adequately. (Enter your response rounded to three decimal places.) 1 Type…
