Sam’s Long Life 75-watt light bulbs are designed to have a life of 1,130 hours with tolerances of ±200 hours. The process that makes light bulbs has a mean of 1,010 hours, with a standard deviation of 54 hours. Compute the process capability ratio and the process.

Life of bulb = 1130 ± 200 hours

Lower specification level (LSL) = 1130 - 200

Lower specification level (LSL) = 930 hours

Upper specification level (USL) = 1130 + 200

Upper specification level (USL) = 1330 hours

S.D. of the process (σ) = 54 hours

Process mean (µ) = 1010 hours

Process capability = (USL – LSL)/6σ

Process capability = (1330 - 930)/(6*54)

Process capability =   400/324

Process capability = 1.2346

Process capability index = Minimum [(USL – µ)/3σ, (µ – LSL)/3σ]

= Minimum [(1330 - 1010)/(3*54), (1010 - 930)/(3*54)]

= Minimum [320/162], (80/162)

= Minimum[1.98, 0.49]

Process capability index = 0.429. The process capability > 1. Conclusion is that the process is capable.

Also, Process capability index =1.98. The process capability index < 1 and mean is towards lower specification limit, the bulbs produced will be of shorter life.

Process capability = 1.2346 (>1) indicates the process is capable, Process Capability = 0.49 (<1) indicates that shorter lived bulbs will be generated.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
