The average is too close to the lower limit for a high Cpk.

Cpk is calculated using the formula (USL - mean) / (3 * sigma).

I think the answer might be 0.75, but I’m not entirely confident. I wish I had reviewed the Cpk examples more thoroughly.

I feel like the Cpk should be less than 1 since the average is closer to the lower limit. But I can't recall the exact calculation.

This question seems similar to the practice problems we did last week. I think I need to find the standard deviation first.

Ugh, I hate these process capability questions. The formulas always trip me up. I'll give it my best shot, but I'm not feeling super confident about this one.

Alright, time to put my process improvement skills to the test! I've got the Cpk formula down, so I just need to plug in the numbers and see which answer choice matches.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Cpk has something to do with process capability, but I'm not totally confident I can calculate it correctly. Maybe I should review the formulas before attempting this.

Okay, this looks like a question on process capability. I think I can handle this - I just need to remember the Cpk formula and plug in the values.

Actually, the correct answer is D) 1.25. The Cpk value indicates how well a process can meet the specifications, and in this case, it exceeds 1.00.

This question is making my head spin. I need to remember the Cpk formula - something about standard deviations and spec limits. You know what, I'm just going to go with D) 1.25 and hope the examiner has a sense of humor.

Hey, isn't Cpk just another way of saying 'Can't Possibly Know'? I'm going to go with B) 0.75 and hope for the best. At least it's not as bad as E) 'Completely Perplexed'.

I'm not sure, but I think the Cpk value should be higher than 1.00 for a good process capability.

Okay, let's break this down. If the process average is 98 and the spread is 16, that means the process is well within the spec limits. I'd say the Cpk has got to be 1.25. Nailed it!

I think it's actually 0.75. The process is not quite hitting the upper spec limit.

Wait, wasn't Cpk something to do with how well your process is centering between the spec limits? I'm pretty sure the answer is C) 1.00. Gotta love those statistics questions, am I right?

Hmm, let me think about this. The spread is 16 units, and the spec limits are 115 and 90 units. I think that's going to give us a Cpk value of around 1.00. Sounds about right to me.
