Two sheet-metal presses are used to produce a part for automotive transmissions. Scrap costs for one critical dimension are excessive. To determine whether there is a difference in mean performance for the two presses, a Six Sigma project team ran a small experiment. The Minitab output for the statistical analysis is shown below. Using a significance level of α = 0.05, the team concludes that:

Refer to instructions above on how to “Show Your Work.” Type your solution in the answer box and be sure to answer all parts of the question. Your company just landed an order to produce ball bearings for the latest Bazinga fidget spinner. A process capability study was conducted on a sample of 100 balls produced on a new grinding machine. The estimated average diameter is 2.016, and the estimated standard deviation is 0.020. The measurements appear to be normally distributed.  The target dimension is 2 mm, with LSL = 1.9 mm and USL = 2.1 mm. Estimate Cpk. Does this process meet Motorola’s Six Sigma quality level? Explain your answer.
