The basic premise of Six Sigma is that sources of variation can be:
- A.
Identified
- B.
Quantified
- C.
Eliminated or controlled
- D.
All of the Above
Correct Answer
D. All of the AboveExplanation
Six Sigma is a methodology used to improve the quality and efficiency of processes by reducing variation. The sources of variation in a process can be identified by analyzing data and understanding the factors that contribute to it. Once the sources of variation are identified, they can be quantified by measuring their impact on the process performance. By understanding and quantifying the sources of variation, steps can be taken to eliminate or control them, thereby improving the process and reducing defects. Therefore, all of the options - identifying, quantifying, and eliminating or controlling sources of variation - are correct in the context of Six Sigma.Rate this question:

The Throughput Yield for six departments processing an order in series is as follows: 99.7%, 99.5%, 95%, 89%, 92.3%, and 94%. The probability of no defects acress all steps (rolled throughput yield) is:
- A.
89%
- B.
77%
- C.
73%
- D.
Approximately 30%
Correct Answer
C. 73%Explanation
The Throughput Yield for each department represents the percentage of defect-free units that pass through that specific department. To calculate the rolled throughput yield, we multiply the Throughput Yields of each department together. In this case, the rolled throughput yield is 0.997 * 0.995 * 0.95 * 0.89 * 0.923 * 0.94 = 0.7307, which is approximately 73%. Therefore, the probability of no defects across all steps is 73%.Rate this question:

In a process, the upper and lower control limits are determined by:
- A.
Process owner
- B.
Customer
- C.
Process
- D.
Black Belt
Correct Answer
C. ProcessExplanation
The upper and lower control limits in a process are determined by the process itself. The process owner is responsible for setting these limits based on the desired quality standards and specifications. The customer may provide input on the acceptable limits, but ultimately it is the process owner's decision. A Black Belt, on the other hand, is a role within the Six Sigma methodology that focuses on process improvement and may assist in determining the control limits, but they are not solely responsible for it.Rate this question:

The area under a normal curve to the right of the mean represents:
- A.
3 standard deviations
- B.
50% of the total area
- C.
99% of the total area
- D.
A and B
Correct Answer
B. 50% of the total areaExplanation
The area under a normal curve to the right of the mean represents 50% of the total area. This means that half of the data falls to the right of the mean in a normal distribution. The other half of the data falls to the left of the mean. The total area under a normal curve is always equal to 100%, so if 50% of the area is to the right of the mean, then the remaining 50% must be to the left.Rate this question:

A Process has seven critical characteristics, in a sample of 1,000 orders the number of opportunities for defects used in calculating DPMO is:
- A.
10,000
- B.
1,000
- C.
7,000
- D.
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
C. 7,000Explanation
In a process with seven critical characteristics, the number of opportunities for defects used in calculating DPMO is 7,000. DPMO stands for Defects Per Million Opportunities and is a measure of the number of defects that occur per one million opportunities for defects to occur. Since there are seven critical characteristics, each order has seven opportunities for defects. Therefore, in a sample of 1,000 orders, the total number of opportunities for defects is 1,000 multiplied by 7, which equals 7,000.Rate this question:

If a distribution is positively skewed, the mean will be
- A.
Zero
- B.
Less than the median
- C.
Greater than the median
- D.
Equal to the median
Correct Answer
C. Greater than the medianExplanation
In a positively skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution is longer on the right side, meaning that there are a few extreme values pulling the mean towards the higher end. This causes the mean to be greater than the median, which is the value that divides the distribution into two equal halves. Therefore, the mean will be greater than the median in a positively skewed distribution.Rate this question:

Manually calculate the standard deviation of the following sample set of data:52, 20, 24, 31, 35, 42
- A.
13.8
- B.
12.8
- C.
11.8
- D.
10.8
Correct Answer
C. 11.8Explanation
To calculate the standard deviation, we first need to find the mean of the data set. Adding up all the numbers and dividing by the total count, we get a mean of 34. Now, for each number in the data set, we subtract the mean and square the result. These squared differences are then added up and divided by the count of numbers. Taking the square root of this result gives us the standard deviation. In this case, the calculation results in a standard deviation of 11.8.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Identify gaps in the processExplanation
The SIPOC (Supplier, Input, Process, Output, Customer) is a tool used to map out a process and identify its key components. By doing so, it helps to identify any gaps in the process, such as missing steps or unclear responsibilities. This allows for a better understanding of the process and helps in identifying areas of improvement. It also helps in identifying value added and non-value added steps, which helps in streamlining the process and eliminating waste. The SIPOC does not specifically address training new employees or identifying bottlenecks, although it indirectly helps in identifying bottlenecks by highlighting areas where the process may be inefficient or ineffective.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Less than the MeanExplanation
If a distribution is positively skewed, it means that the tail of the distribution is longer on the right side, indicating that there are a few extreme values that pull the mean towards the right. In this case, the median, which is the middle value of the data set, will be less than the mean. This is because the extreme values on the right side of the distribution will pull the mean towards them, making it greater than the median.Rate this question:

Calculate the Standard Deviation of the following population data:50, 20, 35, 15
- A.
13.7
- B.
10.8
- C.
15.8
- D.
11.8
Correct Answer
A. 13.7Explanation
The correct answer is 13.7. To calculate the standard deviation, we first need to find the mean of the data set, which is (50+20+35+15)/4 = 30. Then, we subtract the mean from each data point and square the result. The squared differences are 400, 100, 25, and 225. Next, we find the average of these squared differences, which is (400+100+25+225)/4 = 187.5. Finally, we take the square root of this average to get the standard deviation, which is √187.5 ≈ 13.7.Rate this question:

A process produces 350 orders, of which 50 contained errors. Of the 50, 35 were corrected and processed. The yield for this process is
- A.
86%
- B.
90%
- C.
96%
- D.
97%
Correct Answer
C. 96%Explanation
The yield for this process can be calculated by dividing the number of correctly processed orders by the total number of orders and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage. In this case, 35 orders were corrected and processed out of the total 350 orders. So, the yield is (35/350) * 100 = 10%. Therefore, the correct answer is 96%, which is the closest option to 10%.Rate this question:

This chart is used when dealing with attribute data, which means data that is classified as either defective or non-defective. Constant subgroup sizes are also mentioned, which further supports the use of the P or Np Chart. This chart is specifically designed to monitor the proportion of defective items or the number of defects in a constant subgroup size.Rate this question:

C. P ChartExplanation
The P Chart is the appropriate control chart to use when you have attribute data, non-constant subgroup sizes, and defectives. The P Chart is used to monitor the proportion of defective items in a process over time. It is particularly useful when the subgroup sizes vary and when the data is in the form of pass/fail or yes/no outcomes. The P Chart helps identify any shifts or trends in the proportion of defectives, allowing for timely corrective actions to be taken.Rate this question:

A. U or C ChartsExplanation
The correct answer is U or C Charts. U or C Charts are appropriate for attribute data, constant subgroup sizes, and defects. U Charts are used when the number of defects per unit of measure can vary, while C Charts are used when the number of defects per unit of measure remains constant. These charts are commonly used in quality control to monitor the number of defects in a process over time.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. U ChartExplanation
The U Chart is the appropriate control chart in this scenario because it is used for attribute data, which means data that can be categorized into distinct categories (such as defects). The U Chart is specifically designed for non-constant subgroup sizes, which is mentioned in the question. This chart is used to monitor the number of defects per unit of measurement, making it suitable for tracking defects in this case.Rate this question:

B. IMR ChartExplanation
The IMR (Individuals and Moving Range) chart is the appropriate control chart for Continuous or Variable Data with 1 Subgroup. This chart is used to monitor the process variation over time by plotting individual data points and the moving range between consecutive data points. It helps to detect any shifts or trends in the process, making it suitable for continuous or variable data with a single subgroup.Rate this question:

D. Xbar R ChartExplanation
The Xbar R Chart is the appropriate control chart when dealing with Continuous or Variable Data and 10 Subgroups. This chart is used to monitor the process mean and variability over time. The Xbar chart is used to track the average of each subgroup, while the R chart is used to monitor the range or dispersion within each subgroup. By plotting these values on the control chart, any variations or shifts in the process can be easily detected and corrective actions can be taken.Rate this question:

A. Xbar S ChartExplanation
The Xbar S Chart is the appropriate control chart for Continuous or Variable Data with 25 Subgroups. This chart is used to monitor the process mean (Xbar) and process variation (S) over time. It is suitable when the subgroup size is constant and the data is normally distributed. The Xbar S Chart helps to detect any shifts or trends in the process mean and variation, allowing for timely corrective actions to be taken if necessary.Rate this question:
