Q

Precision

A

Getting consistent results repeatedly.

25
Q

Accuracy

A

Getting an unbiased true value.

26
Q

Repeatability

A

It is the ability to repeat the same measurement by the same operator.

27
Q

Reproducibility

A

It is variability introduced into the measurement system by the bias difference of different operators.

28

A

Range
Standard Deviation
Variance

30
Q

s

Sigma
Sigma^2

A

Sample standard deviation
Sample variance
Population standard deviation

31
Q

Standard Error

A

32
Q

Discrete Probability Distributions

A

Binomial Distribution
Hypergeometric Distribution
Poisson Distribution

33
Q

What is the Bernoulli Process?

A
  1. The experiment consists of n repeated trials.
  2. Each trial results in an outcome that may be classified as a success or failure.
  3. The probability of success, denoted by p, remains constant from trial to trial.
  4. The repeated trials are independent.
34
Q

Hypogeometric

A

N =
n =
k = # of successes
X = Takes values of 0,1,2,….k

35
Q

Ishikawa is generally credited with the advancement of which problem-solving tool?

A

Cause-and-Effect diagrams

36
Q

Process Flowcharts can be used to:

A

All of the above

37
Q

A stable process has a distribution with mean = 100, median = 90. This distribution is:

A

Skewed right

38
Q

A stable process has a distribution with mean = 100, median = 110. This distribution is:

A

Skewed left

39
Q

The binomial distribution is a discrete distribution and may be used to describe;

A

The case of n independent trials with probabilities constant from trial to trial.

40
Q

Histograms

A

Give us a graphical view of process location and variation

41
Q

When using Process Capability estimates

A

The process must be in control or the estimate is misleading

42
Q

When using Process Capability estimates

A

A Cpk value greater than 1.33 is usually preferred.

43
Q

A Cp value of 1.0 means

A

The process size is equal to specification

44
Q

The variation within the control limits on a statistical control chart provide an indication of

A

Common cause variation in the process

45
Q

If Cp is calculated as 1.0 and Cpk calculated to be 0.75, then

A

Both a and b above

46
Q

For a hospital emergency department, if a process improvement team counts the number of infections, they are using:

A

Attribute data

47
Q

Scatter diagrams….. are techniques and tools used in problem-solving.

A

Pareto, Flowchart, Why-Why diagram, and Cause and Effect diagram.

48
Q

All the following statements are true, except:

A

Multiple regression involves one independent variable and two or more dependent variables.

49
Q

In constructing a Scatter Diagram, it is customary to put the dependent variable on

A

The y-axis

50
Q

A “p” chart

A

Plots either the fraction or percent defective

51
Q

The control chart that is most sensitive to varation in a measurement is:

A

X-bar and R-chart

52
Q

A p chart is a type of control chart for:

Plotting fraction defective results from shipping inspection samples

53
Q

In a SIPOC analysis, stakeholders are usually:

A

54
Q

A

a. a or b above

55
Q

Cpk is the ratio that reflects

A

a. How the process is performing in relation to nomial, center, or target value

56
Q

Central Limit Theorem

A

A group of sample averages tends to be normally distributed; as the sample size n increases, tendency toward normality improves. Use of sampling to analyze population.

57
Q

Objectives of control charts for variables

A

Two basic functions:

As decision-making tools.

As problem-solving tools.

Enable one to analyze the variation present.
