1. Explain an organizational scenario where quantitative (ratio level of measurement) information is or could be used to make management decisions about creating, maintaining, or improving quality.
2. State the management information need. How will the analysis be used?
3. Identify the variable(s) being measured.
4. Describe how samples are (or could be) selected. Use an appropriate random sampling method. Consider number, timing, location, etc. of sampling as relevant to the situation.
5. Determine (or describe) what type(s) of statistical process control are most suitable for the management information need: mean, range, or attribute (percent or number of defects).
6. Construct at least one control chart, including means and control limits. Use the control chart to determine if at least one sample is in control.
7. Consider actual or potential causes of variation using a Pareto, Fishbone, or other diagnostic chart.
8. Evaluate the process and draw conclusions about how it is or should be managed. Make recommendations, as need, about how the process can be brought into or maintained in control.

Determine control chart - range
: A new industrial oven has just been installed at the Piatt Bakery. To develop experience regarding the oven temperature, an inspector reads the temperature at four different places inside the oven each half hour.

|
Standard deviation and coefficient of variation
: Compute the range, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Compute the Z scores. Are there any outliers?
|
|
Predict the changes occur
: Think about a normal individual who quickly goes from a supine posture to an erect one. Predict the changes occur in the following cardiovascular parameters.
|
|
Guess estimate of the dates of the milestones
: assume that the event will occur in 4weeks and provide your best guess estimate of the dates of the milestones.

|
Explain an organizational scenario
: Explain an organizational scenario where quantitative (ratio level of measurement) information is or could be used to make management decisions about creating, maintaining, or improving quality.
|
|
Changed and possible replacement practices
: If you can not remember such a situation from your own work history, you may write about an organization that you can read about in the press.
|
|
Determining margin of error
: Determine the margin of error that corresponds to the given values of n (times) and x (successes) and the degree of confidence: n=1400, x=420, 95%. Go 3 decimal places of precision.

|
Create cells that contain inactivating mutation
: Two protein kinases, PK1 and PK2, work sequentially in intracellular signaling pathway. You construct cells that contain inactivating mutations in the genes that encode either PK1 or PK2

Appropriate inference method
: If Weight 1 is the weight (in pounds) of a random sample of five men who were accepted as models, and Weight 2 is the weight (in pounds) of a random sample of five men who were rejected as models, which of the following is the appropriate inferenc..
