Consider the two processes below with specifications 100 plus or
minus 10:
Process A: mean of 100, standard deviation of 3
Process B: mean of 105, standard deviation of 1
n=5 for both processes
Q. What is the fraction non-conforming for each process?
Design specifications for an arrow are that they each weigh 100
± 10 grams. The process to make the arrows has a standard deviation
of four units.
a. What is the process capability index? Assume
that the process is centered with respect to specifications.
Round your intermediate and final answers to 4 decimal
places (e.g., .12345 would be rounded as .1235, not
.1234).

b. Suppose the process average shifts to 92.
Calculate the new process capability...
Two processes share the variable "I". Process A increments it 10
times and process B decrements it 25 times without using critical
sections. The initial value of I is 0. The final value of I MUST
be
Please explain.
Consider a population with mean 100 and standard deviation of
10. If we randomly select a data point from the population, what is
the probability that the point will be between 90 and 110? (Hint:
consider the Z-scores)?
What percentage of the population lies between 900 and
1100?

listed below. Consider how the following processes relate to each,
common metabolites and coordinated regulation.
glycolysis
pyruvate processing
citric acid cycle
gluconeogenesis
pentose phosphate pathway
glycogen metabolism
oxidative phosphorylation
beta oxidation
lipid synthesis
urea cycle
Write all enzymes that will be upregulated in response to high
blood sugar. In the second color, circle all enzymes that will be
upregulated in response to low blood sugar.
Design specifications require that a key dimension on a product
measure 100 ± 10 units. A process being considered for producing
this product has a standard deviation of four units.
a.
What can you say (quantitatively) regarding the process
capability? Assume that the process is centered with respect to
specifications. (Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.)

A computer chip manufacturer finds that, historically, for ever
100 chips produced, 85 meet specifications, 10 need reworking, and
5 need to be discarded. Ten chips are chosen for inspection. A)
What is the probability that all 10 meet specs? B) What is the
probability that 2 or more need to be discarded? C) What is the
probability that 8 meet specs,1 needs reworking, and 1 will be
discarded?
You are tasked with a process selection project. There are two
processes (A and B) that could potentially work for your
application (cutting tubing to a specified length). Sample data is
provided by the two companies. Out of the 16 samples from process
A, you find an average of 17.92 inches and a standard deviation of
1.98 inches. Thirteen samples were taken from process B improvement
and had an average length of 16.58 inches and a standard deviation
of 1.30...
Ringsmith Company is considering two different processes to make
its product—process 1 and process 2. Process 1 requires Ringsmith
to manufacture subcomponents of the product in-house. As a result,
materials are less expensive, but fixed overhead is higher. Process
2 involves purchasing all subcomponents from outside suppliers. The
direct materials costs are higher, but fixed factory overhead is
considerably lower. Relevant data for a sales level of 25,000 units
follow:
Process 1
Process 2
