Answer:

1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the process capability​ ratio is shown below:

= (Upper specification limits - lower specification limits) ÷ (6 × standard deviation)

= (2,200 hours - 1,500 hours) ÷ (6 × 80 hours)

= 700 hours ÷ 480 hours

= 1.46

Simply we take the difference of specified limited and then divide it by the standard deviation by multiplying it by 6 so that the correct ratio can come

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
