The purchasing manager is depending on the Belt’s effort requiring that the average cost of an internal critical raw material component be less than or equal to $3,800 in order to stay within budget. Using a sample of 38 first article components, a Mean of the new product upgrade price of $3,680, and a Standard Deviation of $120 was estimated. In order to increase the Long Term Z value to 5, what is the maximum long term variation in pricing the Belt can accept for his upgraded critical raw material component?
