Q

Formula of Average Run Length (ARL):

A

ARL = 1/p ; p = the probability that any point exceeds the control limits.

21
Q

The average run length gives us the _____________________ that should plot in control before _______________.

A

Number of samples; a point plots outside the control limits

22
Q

Subgroups or samples should be selected so that if assignable causes are present, the chance for differences ________ subgroups will be maximized, while the chance for differences due to these assignable causes ________ a subgroup will be minimized.

A

Between; within

23
Q

A statistical graph consisting of bars representing different members of a population. It is also a useful tool as this helps analysts quickly visualize the features of the data such as shape, central tendency, mean, and mode approximations. etc.

A

Histogram

24
Q

Useful for collecting historical or current operating data about the process under investigation, This can also provide a useful time-oriented summary of data.

A

Check sheets

25
Q

Frequency distribution of attribute data (or histogram) arranged by category. Also often identified as the 80-20 rule.

A

Pareto Chart

26
Q

Once a defect, error, or problem has been identified and isolated for further study, potential causes of this undesirable effect must be analyzed through this diagram

A

Cause and Effect Diagram

27
Q

A picture of the unit showing all relevant views. This diagram is used to analyze and determine if the location of the defects in the unit provides any useful information about the potential causes of the defects

A

Defect Concentration Diagram

28
Q

Plot of two variables that can be used to identify any potential relationship between the variables

A

Scatter Diagram

29
Q

X-bar formula:

A

Sample average

30
Q

Formula for Upper Control Limit (UCL), Lower Control Limit (LCL), and Control Limit (CL):

A

UCL = Mu + 3 (sigma/sqrt (n))
CL = Mu
LCL = Mu - 3 (sigma/sqrt (n))

31
Q

Formula of the standard deviation of the sample average:

A

sigma/sqrt (n); wherein n = sample size

32
Q

X-double bar formula:

A

Average of the Averages (X-bar)
