Pepsi uses six-sigma technique to evaluate whether its 15 oz Gatorade has consistent weight. Pepsi took a sampling of 1000 15 oz Gatorade and found out that the average weight was 15.12 oz with a standard deviation of 0.3 oz. Pepsi considers a tolerance of 4% from 15 oz acceptable.

If Pepsi improves its production process, and samples another 1000 bottles and finds a average weight of 15 oz with a standard deviation of 0.25 oz.

d. what quality standard does this new process achieve (in terms of number of sigma)?

A. the result meets 2.4-sigma standard
B. the result meets 2.0-sigma standard
C. the result meets 1.6-sigma standard
D. the result meets 2.2-sigma standard
E. the result meets 1.8-sigma standard
