    The value for R-squared indicates how well the reqression equation for a given set of data "fits" the data or the accuracy of the regression model (check one)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The value for R-squared is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable(s) in a regression model. A higher value of R-squared indicates a better fit of the regression equation to the data, meaning that the model can accurately predict the dependent variable based on the independent variable(s). Therefore, the statement "The value for R-squared indicates how well the regression equation fits the data or the accuracy of the regression model" is true.

    In hypothesis testing, a standard or default p-value evaluation limit (alpha risk) is set for rejecting or failing to rejecting the null hypothesis.  If the p-value is less than typical value of  _____, then reject the null?

    • 0.05

    • 0.00005

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.05
    Explanation
    In hypothesis testing, a standard p-value evaluation limit (alpha risk) of 0.05 is commonly used. This means that if the p-value calculated from the data is less than 0.05, it is considered statistically significant and we reject the null hypothesis. A p-value less than 0.05 indicates that the observed data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone, providing evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis. On the other hand, if the p-value is greater than or equal to 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis as the evidence is not strong enough to support the alternative hypothesis.

    One concern with attribute data is that it typically requires three to five times as much data per data set than continuous data when drawing an inference about the data set.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because attribute data, which consists of categorical or discrete variables, requires more data points than continuous data to draw meaningful conclusions. This is because attribute data is often represented by categories or levels, and each category needs to have a sufficient number of observations to accurately represent the population. In contrast, continuous data can be measured on a continuous scale and requires fewer data points to make inferences. Therefore, attribute data typically requires three to five times more data per data set compared to continuous data.

    A customer requires 24 parts per day and the factory works schedules 480 minutes per work day to produce the customer parts.  What is the takt time per part?

    • 30 minutes per part

    • 20 minutes per part

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 minutes per part
    Explanation
    Takt time is the time available to produce one unit in order to meet customer demand. In this case, the customer requires 24 parts per day and the factory works for 480 minutes per work day. To calculate the takt time, we divide the total available time (480 minutes) by the customer demand (24 parts). This gives us a takt time of 20 minutes per part.

    On a control chart such as an I-MR what determines the upper and lower control limits of the two different charts)

    • The customer

    • The process owner

    • The leader belt

    • The process data

    Correct Answer
    A. The process data
    Explanation
    The upper and lower control limits on a control chart, such as an I-MR chart, are determined by the process data. Control limits are calculated based on statistical analysis of the process data, specifically the mean and standard deviation. These limits help identify when the process is in control or out of control. The customer, process owner, and leader belt do not directly determine the control limits, although they may have an influence on the process and its performance.

    Six Sigma derives its name from +3 and -3 standard deviation above and below the mean of a standard normal distribution.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because Six Sigma is a statistical measure used to determine the quality of a process. It is based on the concept that if a process falls within six standard deviations of the mean, it is considered to be statistically stable and producing high-quality results. Therefore, the name "Six Sigma" comes from the fact that it represents the range of plus or minus three standard deviations above and below the mean of a standard normal distribution.

    • False positive

    • Ordinal

    • Count

    Correct Answer
    A. False positive
    Explanation
    Alpha risk, also known as a false positive, refers to the risk of mistakenly detecting a defect or anomaly when there is actually none present. It is the probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis in a statistical test and concluding that there is a significant difference or effect when there isn't one. In other words, it is the likelihood of a type I error, where a false positive result is obtained.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    In control charts, the standard deviations lines above and below the process data are specified by the customer and not by the variation in the data?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because in control charts, the standard deviations lines above and below the process data are not specified by the customer. Instead, they are determined based on statistical calculations and analysis of the data. These lines, known as control limits, are used to identify if the process is in control or out of control. They are typically set at a certain number of standard deviations away from the mean, such as 3 standard deviations. The customer does not have direct input in determining these control limits.

    If the process owner chooses to reduce the alpha risk (α) for a process to decrease the liabililty to the customer, then sample sizes for inferential statistics must increase or decrease: (choose one)

    • Decrease

    • Increase

    Correct Answer
    A. Increase
    Explanation
    If the process owner chooses to reduce the alpha risk (α) for a process to decrease the liability to the customer, then sample sizes for inferential statistics must increase. This is because reducing the alpha risk means reducing the probability of making a Type I error, which is rejecting a true null hypothesis. To achieve this, a larger sample size is needed to provide more reliable and representative data, reducing the likelihood of obtaining misleading results. Increasing the sample size helps to improve the precision and accuracy of the inferential statistics, ultimately reducing the liability to the customer.

    BONUS:  Multicollinearity describes the effect of factors that show competing explanatory power in regression models due to a correlation with another variable examined in the regression.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Multicollinearity refers to the presence of high correlation between independent variables in a regression model. When multicollinearity exists, it becomes difficult to determine the individual effects of each variable on the dependent variable, as the variables are highly interrelated. This leads to unstable and unreliable estimates of the regression coefficients. Therefore, the statement that multicollinearity describes the effect of factors with competing explanatory power in regression models due to correlation with another variable is true.

    BONUS:  If you add extra variables into your regression equation such as a squared term of a variable and you get the following:  the newly added squared term is significant based on the p-value, the R-squared goes up by 0.02%, and the R-squared adjusted goes down by 3.0%, then you should do the following?

    • Leave the squared term in the equation

    • Remove the squared term and evaluate further if necessary

    • Add more terms till the R-squared adjusted goes up

    • Add a cubed term for the variable

    Correct Answer
    A. Remove the squared term and evaluate further if necessary
    Explanation
    If adding a squared term to the regression equation results in a significant p-value for the squared term, an increase of 0.02% in the R-squared, and a decrease of 3.0% in the R-squared adjusted, it suggests that the squared term does not improve the overall fit of the model. Therefore, it is recommended to remove the squared term and further evaluate the model to determine if any other variables or transformations are needed.

    This tool can be used to access normality along with basic statistics and distribution shape through values such as skewness and kurtosis.

    • X-bar S control chart

    • Residuals plot

    • Chi Square

    • Graphical summary

    Correct Answer
    A. Graphical summary
    Explanation
    A graphical summary is a tool that provides a visual representation of data, allowing users to easily assess normality and understand basic statistics and distribution shape. It can display information such as skewness and kurtosis, which are measures of the symmetry and peakedness of a distribution. By examining the graphical summary, users can quickly identify any deviations from normality or patterns in the data that may require further investigation.

    Minitab worksheets function in the same way and are formatted in the exact same way as an excel worksheet?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Minitab worksheets do not function in the same way as an Excel worksheet. While both are spreadsheet programs, they have different features and functionalities. Minitab is specifically designed for statistical analysis and data visualization, whereas Excel is a more general-purpose spreadsheet program. Additionally, the formatting options and tools available in Minitab may differ from those in Excel. Therefore, the statement that Minitab worksheets function in the same way and are formatted in the exact same way as an Excel worksheet is false.

    Which of the following is not a standard form of waste identification?

    • Motion

    • Processing

    • Recycling

    • Time

    Correct Answer
    A. Recycling
    Explanation
    Recycling is not a standard form of waste identification because it refers to the process of converting waste materials into reusable materials. Waste identification typically involves categorizing waste based on its characteristics, such as motion, processing, or time. Recycling, on the other hand, focuses on the action of reusing waste materials, rather than identifying and categorizing them.

    Box Plots are a good tool for showing hidden factories in process mapping?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Box plots are not used for showing hidden factories in process mapping. Instead, box plots are a graphical representation of data that display the distribution, variability, and outliers of a dataset. They are commonly used to compare and analyze the distribution of data across different groups or categories. Process mapping, on the other hand, is a technique used to visually represent the steps and flow of a process. Therefore, the statement that box plots are a good tool for showing hidden factories in process mapping is false.

    In the Minitab window below, if the desired beta risk is 0.15, then the power value to enter is what? - ProProfs

    In the Minitab window below, if the desired beta risk is 0.15, then the power value to enter is what?

    • 0.85

    • 0.15

    • 0.05

    • 1.0

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.85
    Explanation
    The desired beta risk is the probability of making a Type II error, which is failing to reject a null hypothesis when it is actually false. In this case, the desired beta risk is 0.15, which means we want a 15% chance of not detecting a true effect. The power value is equal to 1 minus the beta risk, so the power value to enter is 0.85.

    • 20.38, no

    • 76.92, yes

    • 0.0035556, yes

    • 0.00, no

    Correct Answer
    A. 20.38, no
    Explanation
    The percent variation contribution for the measurement system shown in the Minitab results is 20.38%. This indicates that 20.38% of the total variation in the measurements is due to the Gage R&R (repeatability and reproducibility) components. Since this value is relatively high, it suggests that the measurement system is not acceptable.

    Successive differences betrween individual data points is called the: ?

    • Mean square error

    • Moving range

    • Coefficient of concordance

    • Variance

    Correct Answer
    A. Moving range
    Explanation
    The moving range refers to the calculation of the differences between consecutive data points in a dataset. It is used to analyze the variation or dispersion in the data over time. By calculating the moving range, we can identify patterns or trends in the data and understand how it changes from one point to the next. This measure is commonly used in quality control and process improvement to monitor and assess the stability or consistency of a process.
