Question: 2 . Process Capability From the lecture we learned that natural process variability is the variability that we expect to face in our normal production

2. Process Capability
From the lecture we learned that natural process variability is the variability that we expect to face in our normal production environment. This natural variability is defined as +/-3\sigma from the mean, which is equivalent to 99.73% of the production (property of a normally distributed variable).Comparing this natural process variability (represented by +/-3\sigma to the specification limits gives us a measure for our Process Capability.
2a. A cable manufacturer produces micro USB cables.
The size of the connector is allowed to vary between 4.998 mm and 5.002 mm.
The process is currently centered between the specifications and is running with a standard deviation (\sigma ) of 0.001 mm.
What is the CPK value of the connector size for this process?
