SSGB Chapter 5

Question 1

All the following are inputs for Measure Phase except

Answer 1

Statistical Distributions

• Inputs to Measure phase include:
• Project Charter
• Established metrics
• Problem Statement
• Roles and Responsibilities

Question 2

Which of the following is a tool for Measure Phase

Answer 2

Run Charts

Run Charts is a tool used in Measure phase of 6 sigma projects

Question 3

Which of the following is an output for Measure Phase of six sigma project

Answer 3

Baseline Process Capability

Baseline Process Capability is an output from Measure Phase of six sigma project

Question 4

Number of satisfied customers of your product is:

Answer 4

Discrete data

Number of satisfied customers is a whole number and hence a discrete data

Question 5

Scale where items are assigned to groups or categories and there is no ordering of data is also referred to as:

Answer 5

Nominal

Nominal: Here, items are assigned to groups or categories. There is no ordering of data (i.e data collected does not show that something is better than the other). Nominal scales are therefore qualitative rather than quantitative. Variables measured on a nominal scale are often referred to as categorical or qualitative variables

Question 6

Temperature, humidity etc are examples of:

Answer 6

continuous data

Continuous data includes temperature, humidity, etc.

Question 7

Ranking, Rating, Yes/No questions are examples of

Answer 7

Discrete data

Ranking, rating, yes/no questions are examples of discrete data

Question 8

Which of the following is a data collection technique?

Answer 8

Check sheet

Check sheets are very important tools for data collection. Inputs gathered from check sheets can be used for creation of Pareto diagrams, cause and effect diagrams, etc.

Question 9

In a particular scale of measurement, the distance between adjacent points on the scale are equal. These types of scale permit the measurement of degrees of difference, and the specific amount of difference. These scales do not have a natural zero. The scale of measurement described here is _____________.

Answer 9

Interval

In Interval scales, the distance between adjacent points on the scale are equal. These types of scale permit the measurement of degrees of difference, and the specific amount of difference. These scales do not have a natural zero. This is a widely used scale because important tools like measuring of averages, mode, median, mean etc. can be used for such scales. Please note that although for an interval scale, differences make sense, ratios do not e.g. difference in dates makes sense but there is no meaning in ratio of the dates.

Question 10

In a measurement scale, the scale consists not only of equidistant points but also has a meaningful zero point. This is an example of which measurement scale?

Answer 10

Ratio

In ratio scale, the scale consists not only of equidistant points but also has a meaningful zero point.

Question 11

Profit is measured in which measurement scale?

Answer 11

Ratio

In ratio scale, the scale consists not only of equidistant points but also has a meaningful zero point. Example: Sales, Profit, market share, age etc. are all expressed on a ratio scale

Question 12

Data analysis tools like Anova are used for

Answer 12

Continuous data

Data analysis tools like Anova are used for Continuous data

Question 13

Which of the following characteristics of a measurement system shows how data clustered around the center can be depicted?

Answer 13

Precision

Precision shows how the measurements are clustered around the center i.e. spread of the measurements

Question 14

How well the measurement system performs over a range of events can be measured using:

Answer 14

Linearity

Linearity is a measure of how well the measurement system performs over a range of events

Question 15

How well the measurement system performs over time can be measured using:

Answer 15

Stability

Stability is a measure of how well does the measurement system performs over time
