Parts Manufactured by an Injection Molding Process Are Subjected to a Compressive

question 61

Multiple Choice

Parts manufactured by an injection molding process are subjected to a compressive strength test.We monitor the compressive strength of the parts manufactured by this process using an and an s control chart.Samples of size 9 are taken at regular intervals,and their mean compressive strength (in psi = pounds per square inch) and standard deviation are plotted on the charts in time order.The overall mean of the sample means is = 81.2 psi,and the sample standard deviation of all measurements is s = 3.0 psi.Specifications call for the compressive strength of parts to be 80 ± 2.5 psi.The control chart constants are (partially) reproduced below. What is the value of an estimate of the capability index C_pk?

• A)0.140
• B)0.144
• C)0.269
• D)0.278
