• Question 162:

  Failure to cite the significant contributions of other individuals in a final manuscript for publication violates which category of the ASQ Code of Ethics?

  A. Fundamental Principles
  B. Relations with the Public
  C. Relations with Employers and Clients
  D. Relations with Peers
  D. Relations with Peers

  ---

  Explanation

  Failing to cite the significant contributions of other individuals in a final manuscript for publication violates the category of "Relations with Peers" in the ASQ Code of Ethics. This category emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and

  respecting the contributions of colleagues and collaborators in professional work. Proper citation practices are essential for maintaining professional integrity and fostering a collaborative environment within the professional community.

• Question 163:

  An auditor who finds a major discrepancy during a pre-award audit of a new supplier should take which of the following actions?

  A. Issue a stop-work request
  B. Verify prompt corrective action
  C. Investigate the cause of the discrepancy
  D. Include the discrepancy in the final report
  D. Include the discrepancy in the final report

  ---

  Explanation

  When an auditor finds a major discrepancy during a pre-award audit of a new supplier, the appropriate action is to include the discrepancy in the final report. This documentation is essential for transparency and for the organization to make informed decisions regarding the supplier. While other actions like verifying corrective actions and investigating the cause are important, they are typically follow-up steps after the discrepancy has been officially recorded.

• Question 164:

  Which of the following list of basic NDT techniques are X ray types?

  A. Electromagnetic / Thermal.
  B. Radiation / Image generation.
  C. Ultrasonic / Optical.
  D. Thermal / Radiation.
  B. Radiation / Image generation.

• Question 165:

  Which of the following is a valid null hypothesis?

  A. p > 1/8
  B. < 98
  C. The mean of population A is not equal to the mean of population B
  D. mu = 110
  D. mu = 110

  Explanation

• Question 166:

  Which of the following actions best describes quality function deployment (QFD)?

  A. Determining if quality procedures are being followed on the shop floor
  B. Determining which processes are functioning correctly
  C. Linking customer requirements to product features
  D. Reducing costs of a product and product features
  C. Linking customer requirements to product features

  ---

  Explanation

  Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured approach for defining customer requirements and translating them into specific plans to produce products that meet those requirements.

  Linking Customer Requirements to Product Features:

  QFD starts by collecting and prioritizing customer needs (often referred to as the "voice of the customer").

  These needs are then translated into design requirements, technical specifications, and product features.

  The relationship between customer requirements and product features is mapped out in a QFD matrix, commonly known as the House of Quality.

  Determining if Quality Procedures Are Followed:

  This is part of quality assurance and auditing, not specifically QFD.

  Determining Which Processes Are Functioning Correctly:

  More related to process control and capability analysis, not QFD.

  Reducing Costs of a Product and Product Features:

  While cost reduction can be an outcome of QFD, it is not the primary focus. The primary focus is ensuring the product meets customer needs.

• Question 167:

  How many total degrees of freedom are in an unreplicated 23 factorial experiment?

  A. 7
  B. 6
  C. 5
  D. 1
  B. 6

  ---

  Explanation

  In an unreplicated 232^323 factorial experiment, there are 8 runs (since 23=82^3 = 823=8). The total degrees of freedom are calculated as the number of runs minus 1, which is 81=78 - 1 = 781=7. However, considering there are three

  factors, each with one degree of freedom, and their interactions (1 for each main effect, 3 two-way interactions, and 1 three-way interaction), the correct total degrees of freedom are 7.

• Question 168:

  Of the services listed below, which one performed by design engineering is of particular interest to QA personnel?

  A. Audit reports.
  B. Cost reports.
  C. Change action.
  D. Rework criteria.
  C. Change action.

  Explanation

• Question 169:

  Given the following probabilities

  1 or more defects = .70 2 or more defects = .35 3 or more defects = .15 4 or more defects = .03

  What is the probability of 2 or fewer defects?

  A. 0.20
  B. 0.35
  C. 0.65
  D. 0.85
  D. 0.85

  Explanation

• Question 170:

  Which of the following tools is used to plan for and avoid situations that might interfere with project implementation?

  A. Affinity diagram
  B. Matrix diagram
  C. Interrelationship digraph
  D. Process decision program chan
  D. Process decision program chan

  ---

  Explanation

  The Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC) is a tool used to anticipate potential problems that could interfere with project implementation and to develop countermeasures to prevent or mitigate those problems. It is a structured method for

  mapping out every conceivable event and contingency that can occur in the course of a project, thus allowing project managers to plan for and avoid disruptions effectively.
