For number 15, the test said to calculate the process capability RATIO. In the book, process capability RATIO is designated by C(p), and process capability INDEX is designated by C(pk). So, I used the equation for C(p) instead of C(pk). If anyone else was tricked by that, let me know.

if he doesn't take c for 15 that's messed up

Dr. Favre said that he would look to see how many people missed question 15 to decide whether he would accept C or not. He said that we should have used the concept that C(pk) is used when target does not equal mean. My problem with this is that C(pk) is not even a ratio (it is an index), and the question specifically asked for the ratio. I guess we'll see what happens on Tuesday.

on my test, the mean was like 110.4 & the target was 110 so i just assumed that was basically the same. haha. Then on the next question, i didn't see where it said n=5 so i did n = 10 .. i made a bunch of stupid mistakes. i hope he gives us a pretty generous curve.
