Evaluation - Six Sigma

Answer all the Questions

Question 1.

2 sample T & Homogeneity of variance tests conducted on two sets of samples, one prior to
improve and another after improve showed the following P values; P value for 2 samples T test
= 0.015 and P value for HOV: 0.003. Choose the right conclusion from below

The process capability has definitely shown improvement

The means of the 2 samples are statistically significantly different, where as variances are
not.
The mean & variance are statistically significantly different
Data insufficient to conclude

different
The means of 5 operators are not statistically significantly different
The means of at least one operator is statistically different from others.

Question 13.

Run chart and descriptive stat were performed on a sample set 25 different hardness readings.
The output of run chart gave P values of 0.71, 0.06, 0.032 &0.55 for trends, clusters, oscillation
and mixtures respectively. Also, the P value obtained in the latter (descriptive stat) was 0.057.
Choose the right conclusions that can be drawn from the data.

Unstable as it shows signs of trend but is normally distributed
Unstable as it shows signs of mixtures and is not normally
distributed
Unstable as it shows signs of oscillation and is normally distributed
