"The Crunchy Potato Chip Company packages potato chips in a process designed for 10.0 ounces of chips with an upper specification limit of 10.5 ounces and a lower specification limit of 9.5 ounces. The packaging process results in bags with an average net weight of 9.8 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.12 ounces. The company wants to determine if the process is capable of meeting design specifications."

The process does not meets the specifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that the Crunchy Potato Chip Company packages potato chips in a process designed for 10.0 ounces of chips.

The value of upper specification limit is, USL =  10.5 ounces.

The value of lower specification limit is, LSL = 9.5 ounces.

The mean weight of the chips bags is, .

And the standard deviation  weight of the chips bags is, .

Compute the value of process capability as follows:

Compute the value of as follows:

Compute the value of as follows:

The value of process capability is:

The value of process capability lies in the interval 0 to 1. So the  process is not capable of meeting design specifications.

Thus, the process does not meets the specifications.
