As part of an insurance company’s training program, participants learn how to conduct an analysis of clients’ insurability. The goal is to have participants achieve a time in the range of 30 to 47 minutes. Test results for three participants were: Armand, a mean of 37.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.0 minutes; Jerry, a mean of 38.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes; and Melissa, a mean of 38.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.9 minutes.

a. Which of the participants would you judge to be capable? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Participants :

Armand: Cpk Cp Capable ? (Click to select)NoYes

Jerry: Cpk Capable ? (Click to select)YesNo

Melissa Cp (Click to select)NoYes

b. Can the value of the Cpk exceed the value of Cp for a given participant?

yes or no

Part a

The value of cp and cpk for Armand is 0.94 and 0.77 respectively. As both values are less than 1 so Armand is not capable.

The value of cp and cpk for Jerry is 1.42 and 1.33 respectively. As both values are more than 1 so Jerry is capable.

The value of cp and cpk for Melissa is 0.98 and 0.98 respectively. As both values are less than 1 so Melissa is not capable.

Part b

The value of cpk cannot be more than cp. It can at maximum equal to the value of the cp.

Explanation:

Part a

As per the given data

Lower Tolerance Limit=LTL=30 min

Upper Tolerance Limit=UTL=47 min

The process capability ratio is given as

where σ is  the standard deviation .

The process capability index is given as

where μ is the mean.

Armand

Now for Armand, μ is 37.0 , σ is 3.0.

The value of cp and cpk for Armand is 0.94 and 0.77 respectively. As both values are less than 1 so Armand is not capable.

Jerry

Now for Jerry, μ is 38.0 , σ is 2.0.

The value of cp and cpk for Jerry is 1.42 and 1.33 respectively. As both values are more than 1 so Jerry is capable.

Melissa

Now for Jerry, μ is 38.5 , σ is 2.9.

The value of cp and cpk for Melissa is 0.98 and 0.98 respectively. As both values are less than 1 so Melissa is not capable.

Part b

The value of cpk cannot be more than cp. It can at maximum equal to the value of the cp.

explanation:

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
