Interview Question: CAPEX Intensity per Industry

Hi,

recently I was interviewing with a MM PE Fund and during a case study they asked me what i believe to be a reasonable CAPEX as % of revenue for that specific industry as well as NWC.. I found this question rather hard as I have a consulting background. Found this table from SP, do you guys believe it is a good representation? 

Cheers!
