• Question 283:

  SPC Charts are used extensively in different business and decision-making environments. In this example a vendor is being selected based on speed of delivery. Which of the conclusions would help you pick a vendor for your needs regarding lead-time of delivery from your vendors? (Note: There are 4 correct answers).

• Question 288:

  Sally and Sara sell flower pots at their garage sale. Sally motivates Sara mentioning that they will sell a minimum of 15 pots per day if the outside temperature exceeds 60o F. From a sample, whose population is assumed to follow a Normal Distribution, taken for 30 days at 60 degrees or more an average of 13.6 pots per day were sold with a Standard Deviation of 0.7 pots. For the sales accomplished above, what test would validate if they met their requirements?

• Question 290:

  What conclusion is most correct about the Experimental Design shown here with the response in the far right column?

  

  A. No factor has enough statistical confidence greater than 95% to have an impact on the response rate

  B. Constant, Adv and Bev are the only factors statistically affecting the response rate with 95% confidence or more

  C. If the Adv is increased from the low level to the high level, the response rate increases

  D. The response level is statistically concluded to only need the Adv and Bev factors set at the low level to get the largest response rate

  E. This design does not have enough experimental runs to conclude anything as evidenced by the lack of P-values in the MINITABTM output

  Correct Answer: D
