Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) Right Ans - The "difference" hypothesis, aka
greater than, less than, or not equal to the normal.
Null Hypothesis (Ho) Right Ans - The hypothesis of "no effect" or "no
difference" from normal.
Associative Brainstorming Right Ans - Generating rapid-fire ideas based on
immediate association with other ideas.
Specific Aim Statement Right Ans - Statement outlining the intent of a PI
Activity as a measurable, time-bound objective for improving an input that is
contributing to our problem.
Expectancy Right Ans - The probability that effort will lead to correct
performance of the task (the operator's belief in their own ability to perform).
Alternate Reality Brainstorming Right Ans - Generating innovative ideas
that arise from the altered thinking required by a novel set of circumstances.
Flow Right Ans - The smoothness of a process such that it is planned,
efficient, streamlined, and without barriers or defects to slow it down.
Special Cause Variation Right Ans - The non-random variation that is
unexpected and cannot be foreseen, usually as a result of a change (planned or
unplanned) to the operation of the process or system; unstable, unpredictable,
or inappropriately variable.
Shift (as in data behavior) Right Ans - A sudden change in process outputs
manifesting as non-sustained, vastly different performance or sustained,
moderately different performance.
Inferential Statistics Right Ans - Numbers derived through calculations that
draw more general conclusions from sample data about a population; use
measured statistics from the sample to interpret/ extrapolate data behaviors
for a broader population.
, Control (Limits) Right Ans - Stability, manifest by minimal variation in a
process or its outputs; limits are statistically derived, usually set at 3 SD from
the mean.
Capability Right Ans - The ability of process outputs to meet customer
requirements (specifications) within a targeted range (see specification
limits).
Trend (as in data behaviors) Right Ans - A gradual, progressive change in
process outputs manifesting as a consistent and sustained increase or a
consistent and sustained decrease in performance.
Common Cause Variation Right Ans - The normal, natural, RANDOM
variation inherent in every process, usually as a result of the MANAGEMENT
of the process or system; stable, predictable, and appropriately variable.
Descriptive Statistics Right Ans - Numbers used to describe a set of data in
terms of what IS or IS NOT true of the data set based solely on WHAT IS
MEASURED within a population or sample; the nature of the data at hand.
Median Right Ans - The middle, or 50th percentile (50% of value in the
data set fall above and 50% of values fall below).
Mode Right Ans - The MORE frequent, or the values that occur most often
within a data set (there may be more than one).
Mean Right Ans - The average (total value divided by the count).
Apparent Cause Analysis (ACA) Right Ans - Rapid-fire, judgement-based
approach to uncover the "most probably" cause of an outcome, based on
readily available information; this tool is used in situations where fixing the
problem is immediate or time-sensitive.
Noise (in data) Right Ans - Information without significance.
Lens Right Ans - A filter through which we choose to view or process (e.g.,
Experience, Time, Mechanical, Quality, Cost, Cause-and-Effect, etc.)
